[quote=Anonymous]I don't have any suggestions but I am sending out a hug OP. Sometimes you realize after you sort of are on the path of your choices that things are going to be different than you really ever intended.

Is there anyway to build a network of cousins or friends for your kids in the other country? So it could become a sort of 'summer camp' experience that they look forward to- "camp friends" and "home friends"?

I think if you could make that happen somehow it might help a lot.

Its not nearly the same but I am struggling with being away from my parents and sibling big time now that I have a child. I crave the model that I had (sounds like you did too) where your aunt could drop by and take you to a movie or something for no reason mid-week or other things like that which doesn't require visits and planning. My husband doesn't value that at all because his mother actively kept away from her family (I try to not resent MIL for this, its not fair I know, its what she thought was best for her, that but I get emotional in my head about it sometimes) so I have to deal with a DH who wants to move across the country- thus further- or abroad indefinitely (despite me loving our expat adventures previously I don't want this)[/quote]
