My mum has decided she wants to move my sisters back to Australia to live with my Dad so they can ‘actually get an education’, because apparently the school they’re going to isn’t setting them enough work during COVID. She also wants to keep her and me over here, since I’m going to a good college in September and she can finish her certificate. My sisters like the idea, since there is a special environmental school over there for one of them who is interested in that, and a math and science school for the other. They also probably miss their old friends.
Mum has told me that I can leave too, and if I want to leave we can all go back. I miss Australia, granted, and my friends there, but the course I want to do for Computer Science is over here and Australia doesn’t have much in terms of that. Plus I’ve made friends over here. I was planning to go back for uni, but stay the final two years here. But now it seems that’ll split everyone up, and I’d really miss my sisters. Not that they’d miss me, but I just hate the idea of them going.
I don’t know what to do, I really don’t. I’m going to be upset either way, but I hate the idea of our family being torn in two. However, it just seems to be me that feels this way. And Mum thinks this is me being overdramatic and selfish again and it isn’t really a big deal.
But either way I’ve got a decision to make, and I don’t know what to do. I really don’t.
