[quote=Anonymous]Our life is here and dh doesn’t want to move back but he really misses his country and feels he “over estimated how nice America was” in his youth. This recent current political climate didn’t help things but this was his feeling a decade prior. We try and do things to preserve his culture (we are bilingual household and kids know about their culture) but it’s obviously not the same as living there. We have just now visited the first time in 22 months and he really is sad having to go back home. What’s even more “shocking” is he isn’t from a “nice” European country, he’s from Mexico, in a particularly middle class/poor area but he just has a very lovely family whom made his childhood wonderful and all his memories lie within Mexico. I also have a grown fondness for it as I love his family and him so it comes natural to me now too. I have no desire to live in Mexico though. And like I said he doesn’t either but it doesn’t help the long grieving process of raising your kids so far away. Anyone in a similar situation with spouse? Are their things you have learned that can help the situation? Thanks :) [/quote]
