Hi,this is a very worrying and major concern for me,and its causing me a lot of stress,because i am in the same position,and i am a one parent family also,my daughter Maria,12,lives with me.I fear that i wont be able to bring my gf here if we marry for the same reasons,and even if i move over to the PI ,how can i support my future wife in the PI,with no income.I think after 6 months my benefits would stop if i moved over to the PI,its becoming a torment and in someway affectimg my health,because i have C.H.D.,it doesent mean i am going to drop dead,but i need to avoid too much stress.
Its really getting me depressed and the more i seem to read and learn,it seems to me ,and forgive me if im wrong,that without substancial savings etc we dont stand a chance of any kind of future,neither here in the UK,or the PIs.It seems so wrong that we may not have a future because of the lack of money ,i thought love was the greatest and most important gift in life,to your loved ones ,and to your kids and your closest friends.I intend to fight every legal loophole if needs arise,however,the stress this may cause can only harm my heart more,both my heart surgeon and GP have warned me of the damage too much stress can cause me.Its a very worrying situation ,and a very cruel and unfair rule.If anyone can advise me more i truly would appreciate your advice,
many thanks ,
jeff and Maria
