[quote=Anonymous]My parents came here from Portugal in the 70's worked their butt off and now have moved back to Portugal. They were both blue collar workers, and their retirement would not be enough to live off here in the DC area. They moved back, and are truly happy. They still have lots of friends and relatives there and are constantly busy. They garden, raise live stock, attend church, go to lunches/ dinners with family or friends. Travel to the US for 3 or 4 weeks a year during Christmas. OP, your parents need to find a way to integrate with either society or a specific community group. Otherwise, they will grow depressed. If I were you, I would have a sit down talk with them and present them with options. Or as a PP mentioned move them to a retirement community. [/quote]
