[quote=Anonymous]I'm in my 50s. I moved here when I was 27 and now I am homesick.

My life here has been great and I also met my wonderful husband to whom I've been married for 24 years. But I've missed out on so much with my family in Europe. My 2 great-grandparents, my maternal grandparents and my parents all died after I moved here.

While I travelled back home to see them multiple times when they were ill, it's not the same. I've missed out on spending precious time with them before they got ill. 
I've missed out on spending time with my aunts, uncles and cousins. I don't know my cousins well. I don't know my cousins' children (well I know their names but that's about it). My cousins never get in touch with me. 
I've missed out on family dinners and Christmases.

I do contact my aunts and uncles every other month or so, and I try and get together with them when I go to my home country but I am always the initiator.
I know they haven't forgotten about me but I feel forgotten. My family have moved on.[/quote]
