When I replied to her opening post I highlighted the fact that my own daughter is deliriously happy and lucky to be living in Cyprus.

The cost of living , mostly the cost of food and household items is very expensive to US from the UK , the weakness of STG makes things even more expensive.
Go easy on her she is partly one of us and so are her children


John It's a crime/pity that you aren't on the forum that I mentioned in my last reply; it needs straight talking people like you, sadly you wouldn't be tolerated or last long as you're not the "yes sir, no sir, 3 bags full sir" type.

Well I did go on Cyprus Living and was banned !! I told someone , a G/C by the name of " molonlave " that he had a chip on his shoulder and that was it. !!! The funny thing is that he too was banned for inciting ...rudeness from me !!
I do remember that hapening, many people are sifted out on Jim's little utopia forum; it's amazing how he sorts out and quickly bars anyone who says boo to him or his bully boys.

You shouldnt make comments like " i should have stayed with him for the kids) My 3 sons now see a mum who can smile , not a mum who is constantly depressed because of a bad marriage. My kids are my life and ok im sorry for slagging cyprus off but I think I am doing the right thing by Educating them in the Uk. We are in the process of buying a holiday home in Pervolia so you wont be rid of us that easy.

As for my lebanese partner of 5 years. He is the kindest , most loving and considerate man I have ever met and he respects me as a woman...something I didnt have before


Sweetie, that's fine :D ... I didn't say you had to stay with the husband ... but just to acknowledge why you left him. You did it for yourself, and that's fine.

I think it's the same with this Cyprus situation ... you are fed up, and it has nothing to do with putting the kids first regarding schooling ... That's just an excuse because you think as a mum, you can't put yourself first ... so you say you are doing it for the kids. Is that right?

Oracle.... I dont have to justify my self to you but I feel Im wanting to tell you. My ex wasnt a nice husband. I knew when my eldest was 6 years old that I didnt want to be with him. Unfortunately I had nowhere to go and no money. He controlled everything. My son grew up in avery sad and argumentative house. I planned to stay until my son was at least 18. We slept in different rooms as I couldnt stand him. one drunken night he came into my room and that resulted with the twins, Alex and James! When they were barely a year old I slipped out of the house with just the clothes on my back and my children. It was the hardest thing I have ever done in my life. We stayed with my dad for a while until I managed to sort my self out. To cut a long story short things are fine now He has a good relationship with the children and sees them regularly.even after six and a half years he still makes me shudder.
I came here to Larnaca because the boys loved their holidays here. They wanted to live here. My car and furniture were shipped over and I sent them to Med jnr.

I can say with my hand on my heart that this is all for them. Idont mind where I live

Well, I wish you all the best and am very sorry you have experienced such an unhappy time. :(

In light of all this, you are right to move on, if you think it's for the best. Nothing is forever, and we live and learn, and all sorts of cliches ... Cyprus will still be here for you to holiday, and once this is sorted you can keep posting on the forum to stay in touch with what's going on regarding Cyprus ... :D
