i am at a foriegn land right now, place which i never know, place where i dont have relatives, expect my husband and my son, no close friends around, dont know any neigbhoor at all. i feel alone, i feel like im lost, when i need something, i cannot do it or i cannot have it cuz i dont have job, when i want to go somewhere i cannot make t cuz i dont know where to go and i dont have car. i really feel like i want to go back home to where i belong and to where i am free to ride and go anywhere, my hubby seem dont see the sadness i have inside of me now. i am very sad, i am very down to be at the place where is new to me.

If you have moved to this new land, try learning the language. That will help you a lot. You might also want to get a map of the city your living in, so you can learn your way around. I have a friend from another state. The first thing she did after moving was to drive around the city to become familiar with it. You might also check the phone book to see if there are any organizations that help foreigners adjust to their new home.

well i dont have problem about the language, since i know how to speak english. i just need to adjust with many things around that im not use too, and i just do expect him to adjust a little be for me in other hand. not that me only. we are husband and wife, it need to be give and take, but he is hard in many ways and i cant react with it.

Well, New place is just like new chapter of your life. Now and then you will learn to have new friends and new environment. Later you will adapt the lifestyle of the new place. During young, I always move around and get adapt with the new atmosphere.
The world is getting smaller too. There is always telephone and internet that can connect you with old friends. Hope you won't be sad in new land. Explore the new life, new chapter of your life.

I'm in the foreign land right now and it is really hard for me to adjust in the climate in these land. It also make me hard to adjust to the people surrounds me because they cannot understand English clearly. and i can't understand their language too unless they speak English to me.
