RE: Are you ready to be an expat? Am I ready to be one?
It would destroy me to give up my beautiful life in South Africa. As a retired person I trust and pray that my pension is safe. The supply of basic needs like water and electricity is whimsical and deeply concerning. Today we have voted and wait to hear what our fate will be.
To leave is not on my agenda but I understand fully why people who have young children want a different life.
I hope that your dreams for your future will come to be.
@justjoy thanks for stopping by and taking the time to read and comment. Yes it's a hard decision. We left due to job opportunities not because of the crime and because hubby loves new adventures and now that the kids are older we can do it together. But I do worry about the parents and family members and friends we left behind. We believe and pray for South Africa and all of the people we have left behind on our journey. This article has elicited an overwhelming response on many platforms just showing me how lonely people are in their new host countries. 😞

My daughter says it is the most terrible heart wrenching journey that she has ever faced. She daily mourns the loss of family.
Far reaching consequences that one doesn't even think of.
