i understand how you feel. im a filipina who came to UK cos of work. it broke my heart to leave my 2 children behind. i cried on sleepless nights thinking of them. how could a mother leave her young children behind? but i had to, so i fought the guilt, the loneliness. so i planned and prepared so i can get them to come over here. after three years of sacrifice, on their part specially, although i went home on 2006, leaving them again was an ordeal. 3 weeks more and im going to the Philippines, coming back with a smile and with my 2 children...no more tears
a british like you can make things happen faster. hope things will be better for you and you family.
