I know someone who lives there not far from Allicante near the mountains and I was only visiting. Catalonia is my favourite place to be but the entire coast is taken up with tourism or industry these days.
Jaca in the Pyrenees is a great old and friendly town but cold in winter.
I've just returned from Spain. Inland Spain would be my choice and the language is the easiest to learn and pronounce. The South may be too hot and the North too wet so do your homework and make sure you get a pool which isn't too expensive to keep in Spain.
I would only live in the country or a small town with a garden but that may not be to your taste.
I was really sorry to hear about your Hypothyroidism. I can totally relate to your comments as I too have that and needed to regain who I was. It took two years and only men who have experienced it will empathise.
It's not something you can explain to someone and if you were anything like me explaining anything wasn't possible.
The only sympathy I have for men on this subject is that it must be very strange suddenly living with a different person.
How strong is their love? It may be testing but I think you've helped prove the point of this blog GG.
@Angel No. My parents are both dead but I have a friend who is about to meet his mother who left when he was 12yrs old. He is a very mixed up individual so I hope it goes well for him. His father died from alcoholism when my friend was 26 and still living at home.
Sadly this is your fear and he has to do what he wants and puts value on in his life. You wouldn't have him any other way because it just wouldn't be him.
I really feel for you because I have a grown son but he chose to be a nurse. Having said that nurses too are subjected to dangers and in his case he has to live with the nightmare of the many deaths of terminally ill people of all ages.
Give your son the facts and let him make his own decision but don't let him stay for you.
This is only my experience and its exact and not an average account.
I worked with a Ghanaian and she would only talk to her daughter with her back turned as if the child didn't warrant any respect.
My friend has just heard that her Malawian partner of 9yrs has been unfaithful. He has a child in Africa who wanted to come back to England to visit him but he doesn't want her here.
Another friend had a black African friend who had many children from different relationships and said he wants no contact from them until they are 18yrs old.
I know a professional woman who married a black African, had a child and her husband wouldn't work. He stayed for a few months then disappeared off the face of the Earth.
I have knowledge of only one more black parent. He was seeing my mother for years and wouldn't leave his wife and child to be with my mum. He always used his daughter as his reason for staying in his marriage. Were there other women he was seeing??
