My parents live in Australia and we live in the uk.
It breaks my heart every day to be apart from them, because i miss them so so much and they are not in the best of health.
We have looked into so many visas but not sure we can get one.
Family visas no good as i have grown up children that have left home.
Carers visa its doubtfull as my parents are not disabled.
Student visa, We definately cannot afford these as we also would have to pay the fees, living costs and childrens schooling.
we are so desperate to be near them, i have emailed an australian mp today but doubt it will do any good.
Any suggestions would bw gratefully received as i cannot bear being away from them any longer.
Thankyou x
