This is very depressing. I spent most summers in Greece growing up and saw how people really lived. Walking down to the neighborhood restaurants regularly, and having time to enjoy my family was something I will forever be grateful for. In August we would have a month together, when most people got their monthly vacations, at some random family beach house and walk to the beach take our afternoon naps and stay up and eat food from the garden. I started seeing the decline the first time I saw something with the MADE IN CHINA sticker on it. Too bad everyone is saying we will get through this with positivity. You will have to count me out. I have so much hate in my heart for the parasites that are destroying this world.
I saw it on Bloomberg and I immediately thought of you, just had to post it on. Funny thing is that when I was a Pom and lived in England, I never thought of moving to Greece, in hindsight I would have liked it there with all of the ancient Greek buildings, etc and the culture - lucky you, you have family there at least and you understand the language and can speak it - "It's all Greek to me".
My Companion's sister and her husband have bought a home in Greece, on one of the islands there, overlooking the sea from high up, from what I gather and they have a big Catamaran there too - sounds idyllic to me - think they are retiring there, from England - no love lost between this one and their sister.
Happy to pass on whenever I can - still going - or staying now? Look carefully before you jump seems to be a good idea on this one.
I would move there in a nanosecond if my son believed me when I tell him what is coming here. But no matter how much I know or try to tell him he is in denial. He's 17 he hasn't even started his life. He's my only child and have never been away from him. I can't leave him no matter how much I want to go. I can not leave him.
You are fortunate. You love your son and he loves you. I understand where you are coming from and I am pleased you are staying there, frankly, I was concerned that if you left, it would be a bad mistake and one you might not recover from.
I had 2 parents who hated me - I've had 2 marriages and brought up 5 step kids - never wanted any of my own, hated my parents more than they hated me - loved my kids as if they were my own - all dead now, according to social media or Covid.
Treasure your son, as you rightly say - way to go baby, half HIS luck, lucky you both.
