It is long time I have not seen my mother and I miss her alot. I miss those days that I was living with my parents and I was a happy single girl with many wishes for future. Now I look at myself and I feel how alone I am here. I live in my husband's country and I miss alot of thing from small to big. My hometown food, my language, lifestyle, culture and many other things.. Do you live far from your hometown? what is your feeling about that? please share them with me.

Hi, Life is such that where there is no certainity. We don't even know what will happen after an hour also. But 'hope' & expectations persuade us to live long and we make plans for 10 years 20 years and so on. Yes, I know you missed a lot when you moved into the diversions of life and this is what life is. When we get new things, we may lose some thing. Here now we all are in an advanced world and we can make things much better as compared to earlier times. I know little bit about your life from yoru words and I still have the hope that you can be much better if you react to the situations little more carefully and positively. First of all, you need to call up your h/b for an open discussion and talk everything whatever you want to speak and find what is his opinion. Ask him to provide arrangements to go to home town and meet your dear ones. Mom is the only God that we have visible around and no one can deny the rights to meet her. So, you need to speak with yoru h/b and ask him to make financial assistance and the rest of the things. You can make calls, meet on fb, or computer video chat etc. can be done to keep in touch with them. Anyway, as long as I have not clue about where you are now and where you originally belongs, I cannot talk much on this. Hope you still enjoying the life and the difference around.

I also agree with Thanks that not all Indians are bad people. Most of them are good. I think there might be some bad in the society and may be some groups that live in particular place. Indians are mostly friendly and always makes others happy. I think most of the Indians do give respect to women and the girls and do care for them. Like there are bad apples and good apples in a basket, there might be some bad ones some places and some good ones in other places.

We just met here in myLot and become friends by discussion. In fact we all don't know who you are and who am I. Still, we are talking just like a friend whom we know each other for so many years. Also, still I don't know which part of India you are now and how you got settled here. As you think, NOT all Indians are alike and I think unfortunately you got grapped into such a person and his family. I will write few things to you throgh PM and will discuss the topic over there. All we need is an aunderstanding people around and from your words I think you tried all your best for a better life which become unfruitful. It is quite sure that you are suffering from a lot of troubles around and people with whom you live and continue suffering from them alongwith your loving kid with you. Don't worry, there will be a time they will really understand the things face to face and you will get relaxed at that time. Be happy and as I said earlier, life is a transition of state where things will keep chaning. Beleive that there is a time for you and it will be coming to you so soon... Regards

well first thanks for your omment. then I would like to say I wonder if an Indian talk and understand another humanbin feeling. as it is more than 7 years I live here, and I have found for many Indian mother means just their mother and if you belong to somewhere else means no right for you at all, mother is just mother of husband and you have to forget your mom because just indian mom gives birth to her children and want them all around them and if you are an alone lady here means end of life as you are whatever we say.... and yes I have talked to my husband but as interference from his family he is not permitted to send me there just in one case that I leave my child here for them. I have not seen these sort of humanbin in all of my life anywhere else, when a mother who is old and all of her children have grown up that much that they are able to destroy somebody's life and that mother can not leave her children in this age after they grow up and married Then How they dare they would ask me to leave my little child for these enemies of mine? I do not understand something about people here why have no understanding and heart? why so selfish they are as they do not think if somebody else do the same thing like this with our daughter what we will say about them?

I have never lived far from home (home is where my parents and family are). I say this because we have moved a lot of times during my college days and even to now. I'd say since we live in manila and just transfers cities, there were no huge adjustments to be made because there were no cultural differences... plus when we move, the whole family moves. I think when i have to move out and be on my own, i will still live next to may mother. haha I mean i do not think i can leave her with someone else... my brothers are not to be the type to always stay at home and be with her so i'd think she really does need me by her side. Right now, we live together and so i do not really miss her that much he he As i see her everyday. I hope you would be able to go home when you are free, cheers and have a great day.

I'm sorry to hear that you are very lonely at this time in your life. I hope that things will improve for you and that you will be able to see your mother soon. I don't live that far from my family but I can understand what you mean. When we get married we often times feel that this will solve a lot of things and make us happy in so many different ways, but often more times than not their is some type of sacrifice that we make to in order to stay with our spouse.

I also miss my mother, actually my family for I now live thousands of miles away from them. 22 hours of plane ride to be exact. I just got married and moved to my husband's country. But thank goodness for internet and technology, we always keep in touch. We do not have to spend hundreds just to be able to call and text because lots of applications has made communicating with them cheaper and faster. I do plan to visit them when I have settled down here. I am still adjusting, seeing as I have been here for only 2 months.

Hi extremefun4fun that is all life is about. When you are growing up in a family you are attached emotionally to everyone in the family, not only your relations but also the pets you may be having. But when it comes to making your career you have to make certain harsh decisions, may be you have to leave away from your family. But what I feel is now-a-days, the world has become so small due to technological developments. You can be in touch with them on a regular basis via skype and such things. It was not the case probably 10-15 years ago. Yes I do agree you miss many things like language and culture.

This was replied by my wife. She sometimes do reply discussions in myLot. She is very close to her mother. She is staying in my house after marriage and we do visit her house once in two weeks or three weeks. My parents live in the same house and they live downstairs while we live upstairs and we share the food and cooking is made in downstairs and we spend time eating together and mostly goes upstairs for sleeping only.

I have seen some of the families of my friends in which they does not want to visit their wife's house or let their wive go home. I wonder why they are so selfish. Some of my other friends do visit their wives' home and also allows them visit their wives house and says that their wives family treat them as son and it is always good to give woman freedom and at least allow them to go to their house once in a while.

maybe it is because you live so near them you do not feel that much cause in your heart you are sure they are here and near.. but for me is long distance and I can not see my mother whenever I want.. in 7 years I just have seen her in so limited time and only 4 times..

Well, I live in a situation diametrically opposed than yours. This in the sense that I find myself at the ripe age of almost 38 years, still out of work (which is nowadays very serious!), Still alive and employed by mom and dad and my younger brother. As a result, however, even if we are united, there are problems of living together. These mostly my parents raise them themselves that they would like us kids, we were already settled with the work and also to sentimental level. But after all, at moment for us, this thing is a utopia! We all, hope in the future much better!

while I was living with my parents I had the same problem too. there was a time I wish I could go somewhere so far and agian I will not see my family. Now after all those years I really understand their value, I even miss those time that I had discussion with my family. Now I am dying that if again I could have those chances? but I know that is imposible. I have lost those time except spending better time with my family, I waste them with seeing and talking about problems with them.... Now I feel my mistake and I really miss them. and as reality, no chances agian for that.

Stay away from the mother and the family is sad ..We certainly miss them all, missed by all of the circumstances and the atmosphere in our home .. My advice, try to busy myself with something positive so as not to get carried away ..While waiting for the time to come together again with her ??mother and family .. thanks
