DS lives in Texas @mellowyellowgirl, we live in the UK, so yes to quite a climate change, yes to quite a culture change, we don‘t have armed police on the streets here, but the area he lives in reminds him of ‘home’, and he will become a citizen this year and that is where his life is. On the day we travel, we’re up before 6am, get to the airport about 8am, flight is usually between 11-12 am. 10 hour flight, + 6hrs time difference, and an hour from the airport to his place, and it‘s not getting any easier.
Once we leave here, we won’t ever come back, we’ll get on with integrating there and making a new life for ourselves. We most definitely won’t be the typical ex-pats always complaining about how things are better back home, any country that welcomes us should expect that we will do everything to adapt and fit in.
And I am so excited to have you move here eventually @Austina!!! Anything I can do at all please do not hesitate to ask! You know we are here for you however we can be. When you and your DH move here (and your son becomes a citizen) the USA will be elevated a notch IMO.
