I'll try and keep my story concise and short.
Lived abroad and adopted two cats. They have moved around with me each year (renting sucks and landlords often surprise you with them selling the property and you need to get out). Each move it was so stressful for them and myself, but we've always managed to adjust after some time. I made a big move from London to Seattle with my two cats when my UK Visa was expiriring. Where they live now (with my parents) is a 1 acre slice of heaven in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It's Paradise all around. All of us lived here for a year now and it was great!
Now here's my situation, I've married a brit and have moved back to the UK to be with my partner. I feel overwhelming guilty for leaving my two boys behind, but they are so happy and content with my parents. To put them through another international flight and new home with much less space and quietness I feel would be so cruel. But I miss them so much, and perhaps they miss me as well? How do you get over the sadness and guilt from this type of situation? There is no stability in my life in the uk- husband and I rent and we are not allowed pets, etc. I just can't justify brining them back here, but I feel like an awful pet parent. I feel like I have an incomplete life now ... I seriously can't focus and am so depressed.
They are happy and loved by my parents, and roam around a beautiful 1 acre homestead. On paper it looks like a great situation, but I'm dying inside and can't get over the fact that I live in a shitty London home without my precious two cats with me.
