Vietnam, im in exactly the same situation as yourself. Difference is, it was my husbands job that brought us here, and I only go back once a year. My mom is also getting old and I know that in time, this will be my biggest regret .My job has taken me away from my family in the UK. I only see them two or three times a year at mist ... my biggest sadness. My mother is getting old now and every year I say to myself its time to go home. But I never do.
