[quote=Anonymous]I am not from the US - came here for graduate school, met my American husband and now have 2 DCs. Going back home to live is not really an option for my spouse or kids. For some reason, I am having a really hard time living so far from my parents, especially my mom, lately. It makes me really sad to think that I will see them twice a year until basically they pass away and my kids will not have the close relationship I had with my grand parents. My parents don't want to come for a long term visit - it's understandable; they are very socially active at home, but here they are basically home-bound due to the language and not having any network (they basically get cabin fever after about 10 days when they visit). If you are in a similar situation, how do you handle it mentally? [/quote]
