No, it's OK.. everyone else says the same thing: "Get your own place!"
If only it were that simple. I've even considered low-income housing, but we still wouldn't be able to afford the rent and bills AND make the UK trip once a year. You know, whenever I think about my family, I get so angry. I miss them dreadfully, but I feel as though they're putting so much pressure on me to make that trip every year. My mother still thinks I'm planning on moving "home" soon - she constantly asks when we're coming back.
They love me dearly and worry about me all the time, but I guess their love isn't quite enough to warrent putting their fears aside and making the trip to visit ME for once.
Or maybe my mom's right... I made the decision to move here, so why should THEY be the ones having to fork out thousands for a trip here. I guess they see it as my "responsibility" to visit them. Or am I just being a people-pleaser?
Sigh.
