I've been away from the board for a while, and just wanted to give an update.
I met a lady via another board who had concerns that her 'boyfriend's' young daughter was being sucked into the dubs. I responded to her concerns and thanks to many of the posters here (including some who were in direct contact) that danger seems to have been averted for the time being at least.
During the course of my conversations with the lady we became close. I went back to the UK early in January and met her for a couple of weeks. Half of that time was spent in an isolated farmhouse in Northumberland cut off from the outside world by a swollen impassable ford, with only log fires to keep us comfortable.
The upshot is that I move back to the UK tomorrow, as we both agree that being together is more important than where we are geographically. We have to decide where to live, etc., but all that will be sorted out as necessary.
Also on the update front, my JW neighbours had a son a couple of days before Christmas. And are already back into the 5 meetings a week mode, with Mum and Dad both looking exhausted.
Many thanks to all for all of the welcome, good advice and that sort of stuff.
And to cabin-in-the-woods - Bloody Hell, girl! Keep it up!
