Hi Immilbees, I went through the same with my mum, when i visited her I could feel the tension in the house, she said a few hurtful things to me and totally blocked out anything to do with moving to Oz, but she did eventually come round when we had our medicals and Police checks, I think she knew there's was no turning back, we've been here for 4 weeks and I have spoken on the phone and kept her updated with progress house, car & school with pics on FB. It will get easier you do have your own life to live as well.
i wish you well
Jen
