My parents picked me up at the airport, and honestly I was a bit disappointed, I got hardly any questions... I mean I got engaged! Mom asked to see the ring said it was beautiful, dad said so your all grown up engaged, and then that was it! I didn't even get a congrats, no further questions, I felt I was the one doing all the talking. Told them how we'd like to get married soon but need to wait till his grandparents saved up, told about the engagement gift Nathan's parents got us, but I was the one who had to speak up, they didn't ask at all. I was just a little disappointed. I didn't get to share much of my five months. I have so much that happened and they hardly seemed interested.
I been home alone for these past two days, and just been lonely. I miss my Nathan so much, its so lonely sleeping in bed alone. I miss spending the day together, you might think spending every day together you would get tired of one another, but we don't! I mean sure its not all fluff and romance all the time as it was in the beginning, but were so comfortable together, it was amazing, and were like a married couple. I miss my baby so much, I miss his family too. I can see myself living there easily.
Tomorrow im going to a family BBQ and going to stay at my parents for a week, i'll be seeing a ton f relatives. So think that will be nice, get to be out, distract myself from my lonely whinny mopy self. Gush a bit about my engagement. And then at some point, hopefully sooner then later tell my parents the big news. That I plan to come back to Scotland to go to college, so basically be gone a year. Not sure how they'll take it, but i've come to the point where im okay with having to go against there wishes. And that im living my own life now. They didn't want me to go to Scotland this time for 5 months, If i hadn't gone I would have regretted it so much. It was amazing and it went by so fast. The time getting to know Nathan's family, getting engaged, going to Disneyland twice, once for my birthday. Going to paris and putting our love lock on the bride over looking the eifel tower. Exploring London! How crazy it is going on the metro! Going to Rome!! Spending all that time living together, seeing that we really are compatible and meant to be together. Im so happy I was strong and did what I wanted and went and followed my heart.
If all goes as planned 4 months until I see my babe again, he'll come here to visit and we'll sort through getting my student visa and then hopefully just 2-4 months later ill be going back home! Mhmm Scotland is my home, because if home is where your heart is, and my babys there, then thats home.
Now I just need to get into action, start making scented teddys and somehow make enough money for my plane ticket
It's too bad that your family isn't as enthusiastic as you are, but maybe they are also just a bit sad or scared for you leaving them..! It's hard to watch your children move to a different country and stuff, even if you like the one they marry. They might even think about their future grandchildren not living nearby... Just take those things in consideration as well
Sorry about your parents being uninterested in hearing about your time in Scotland. Its a big step in your life and you'd think they'd give a damn. I thought the same thing when I came home from my visit with Kyle and got engaged. My mom wasn't too bad but my dad just denied the entire situation and it upset me so much. Finally I was just open with him about how much it hurt me and we eventually ended up having a really nice talk in which he explained to me he didn't mean to come off as if he didn't care, but that he in fact cared SO much (and disapproved) that he thought it would just be better to not say anything at all rather than to come at me with all his negativity.
Maybe thats along the lines of what your parents are going through?
I'd be so upset if my room was all packed up though, not sure If im clear on your situation, are you living with them or?
Good luck, things always get better.
