You said that you felt this way nine months ago and here you are feeling the same way again; it just made me think how we really do need to go through these emotions as they relate to change and how beneficial they can be to us really. I mean, if you had just stayed home and not had to feel sad at all in the coming or going, what else would you have done? I think you've gained so much from this as a growing experience, even though it's hard. Hope you're not too upset about things, you know where my pm box is honey, xx.

ta no its not that im upset - i figured myself out FINALLY lol went through a hell of a time doin it too lol. i just got to the point tonite wer i was like wow im actually doin this im really leavn. i had planned to leav a lil bit early(long story) but i hadnt actually sent any forms or anything n now iv actually picked the date i wana leav, my host mum signed the form its in the mail box waiting to b sent offim just like wow its really happening thats all

In reply to: i cried wen i filled in the form - im happy and sad just confused i guess, i cant wait to b home but stil i love my kids n shes so good to me. It's a bit traumatic when you reach the end of a chapter in your life, and your reaction is entirely normal. Just remember that the end of this chapter means the beginning of a new and different one, something to look forward to.

oo well have a safe trip.
-
ta im not leavn til january tho,probably 18,22 or 24th of jan to b exact as those r the dates i chose. but they needed my forms now so they can take ther sweet time finding a flight.so im here for another 3 months n then im goin home
-
ooo ok, my birthday is in january
-
Hey...won't it be summer down there then?
-
yes it will il do the opposite of wat i did this year lol. i left an incredibly hot australian summer to come here wer it was FREEZING n now il go back to warmth
-
I think it's very brave of anyone, btw, to head off somewhere halfway across the world with no idea whats really in store and then cut the bonds formed when they have to be cut and head back home again. I've never been out of my home country for more than a month at a go (in Australia, incidentally) My son was born when I was quite young, so it wasnt really an option anyway; but had it been, I dont know if I would have been up to it. But, good on you girl, for doing that!

thank you
