[QUOTE="Malika, post: 466752, member: 11227"] Lol, Keista. If I were by myself, I'd DEFINITELY consider moving to the States - probably California, which is now the capital of Buddhism in the west! But with a youngster, the medical insurance/healthcare issue alone would make it prohibitively expensive. Also you are perverse enough not to speak French there and I've just got this thing about J growing up bilingual :) Insane, really good to know that there is or can be light at the end of the tunnel! I have become expert at enjoying and appreciating the good moments when they are there - make a big deal of J when he does something good, which gives me a buzz in a way a "normal" parent would never get (eg tonight he came into the kitchen and asked "Mummy, can I have a piece of paper to draw, please?" instead of just helping himself...), really see the blessings that are there so it is NOT that hellish a road any more. Definitely more liveable than even six months ago... Anyway, it must give such satisfaction to know that all your and your husband's commitment and hard work have had a kind of fruition... [/QUOTE]
