idk. we have talked about this, dont know if you have already done it at this point, but i still maintain you should wait. there are valid reasons that you dont speak to them, dont really have a relationship with them, moved to where you did etc.

I say no.

I don't have time to make a long post right now, but I really hope you can make the most stress-free choice for yourself (you deserve it) and that seems like a "no".

Usually I'd put a yes, but reading your post and knowing a tiny bit about your background tells me that it's just not worth the trouble.

You don't know that your parents will be mature about it or if it'll stir up more drama. You have enough on your plate. It's not an obligation to "do the right thing", right things are reserved for right reasons only and you'd know if it was something that was true and right for you. And doesn't sound like it is.


Either way though - good luck! And welcome to Australia :)

This is the logic behind me wanting to wait, tma. Thanks for the post and the welcome! I saw an actual kangaroo on the side of the road today. Squealed like a fucking stupid tourist ffs.

Yay! I get excited at kangaroos and I live here. I didn't see a kangaroo outside of the zoo until I moved to Canberra though lol.

I hope you're enjoying some of your time here at least, and get to spend time with your girlfriend and work things out.

That's another thing... If you can keep your visit with parents simple, it'll ease the family issues from popping up and haunting your new family-to-be at this fragile time. I hope that if you see your gf's folks that it goes well (or as well as can be expected).

One set of families is enough to deal with without the contrast from a totally different set of issues.

Anyways good luck and enjoy your time here.

Cheers. I think you are right there. That's why I plan on going the day I leave lol "I have to catch a plane" seems like a valid excuse to keep it short. She's actually quite sick at the moment, which is a bit of a shame. Hasn't really given us an opportunity to do much, but with some TLC hopefully she'll at least be better by the time I leave.
