One heck of a proboscis there Theland
Glad you didn't sniff while you were devouring soup, you may have drowned;-)
In a nutshell, worked a very successful career living in the city, had four children. Realised family time was zilch. Sold up, moved to a remote country town. Bought a business that allowed me lots of family time, house etc, raised the family, kids have moved on and are all happy and successful.
Hit rock bottom some years ago, arrested, loony bin, etc etc, thankfully didn't have to do porridge.
The agreement was when the kids leave so will we.
But, Mrs Oz loves living here, good friends, support group, feeling content etc.
I'm ***, there is nothing here for me.
