All the more for her to bring her son with her because believe me, the missing her child bit will get worse esp when she realizes he's not a bus-ride away from her anymore.Originally Posted by Nathan
Ginapeterb and I were talking about a topic similar to this last Saturday and I said, my first year here in the UK was absolutely horrible for me. I hated the weather, I hated the fact that I didn't have friends, I couldn't drive, couldn't go anywhere, didn't have any money. If I didn't have my son Gav, I would've packed my bags and bogged off. If he had been left in Manila, I would've had a reason to go back. If I had gone back, I wouldn't have married Bill.
Gav settled in really well being a child and he was very happy. I couldn't take that away from him so I coped and eventually, I adjusted. Sometimes, one needs all the motivation they can get to stay in an alien place and mine was knowing Gavin is going to be very happy here. It's not just about me after all, it's a marriage that includes him.
