Here I am...A single Mother of 2 boys (ages 10 & 13) whose ex lives in Australia "temporarily". HE'S been in Sydney, Australia, for 2 years AND guess what? He signed another years contract to continue to work & live in Sydney.
You might ask, what that has to do with ME? Let's see:
My "ex" lives "down under". The "company" with whom employs him, subsidizes their employees' children's education to those they transport to foreign countries. This is not any "ordinary" school (BTW), but rather an amazing school. The kind of school, might I add, that in the States, you can only DREAM of having your children attend.
SO, through a heated conference call between my "ex" and I WITH a "psychologist/mediator" being appointed the "middle man", AND in an effort:
1. For my "ex", and our 13 year old to "mend/heal" their relationship (mind you...our "teen" is hitting that age, if not there already, that all hope for irreconcilable differences will be impossible),
And...
2. In an effort for my "ex" to capitalize on his company 's "perks" by sending our boys to obtain an "ivy-league-ish" education in Sydney, Australia...
And...
3. The simple reality that I CAN NOT be WITHOUT my boys, for I DO believe, they need me as much as I need them...
I suggested that the boys and I move to AUSTRALIA. What was I THINKING??????? Not sure I was at the time....
OOPSY, what does that actually entail?
I agreed to move my boys & our lives into a "public storage" facility, find a home for Magic (our amazing cat),
AND
to find a loving individual to care for Dave (Luke's bearded dragon) whom I LOVE...I know, a "REPTILE"...but there's never been a more handsome bearded dragon as "Dave"...
DID YOU READ THAT?????? YES all, I agreed to move the boys and I to Sydney to accomplish ALL of the ABOVE. There is a "little" more to the story than that but let's just leave it at that for now...
