I've been absent from this group for a couple of years already, but I'm back!
A short summary: We received PR in 2012. We moved from Cape Town to Sydney in 2013. We missed Family and friends and things were easy for us to return to South Africa, so we did. In hind sight it was all a very emotional decision and we didn't use any logic. We can see that logically there is no future for our kids or us over here and we are thinking of making the move back. This time to Melbourne as we have friends there and it helps to be able to just touch base with someone. Someone to help you do a sanity check.
My question..... Who moved to OZ, returned to South Africa and moved back again? Was it easier the second time? I must say that saying "once bitten, twice shy" applies to me. Oz is great and everything works, but just the idea of the loneliness I experienced makes me very nervous.
Would like to hear from anyone with words of advise or who went through the same thing.
