My background is kinda complicated. In a nutshell: I was born in Russia, but my family moved to Germany when I was 10 (step-father is German)--my first "starting over". I'm a citizen of both and have bits and pieces of both cultures, although I don't really identify myself with either one of them. I'm kind of a "lost soul", I guess. I think the fact that this country is a melting pot of other cultures is what appeals to me. Anyone can be whoever or whatever they want to be. And the fact that my H embraced my complicated background and was willing to learn as much as he could is something that really made him stand out. He has learned German so that he can communicate with my family, and even knows a few words of Russian. Our shared love for different cultures and countries really brought us together. We even went to live in China for 6 months when we were in college. And I know that he would have moved to Germany with me at the drop of a hat. I think I'm really sad about the possibility of losing someone who's been that devoted to me.
Quite the amazing story. I'm like you. I was born a US citizen but grew up in the far east then moved to US at age 10. Like you, I feel very at home immersing in different cultures.
Regarding your posts and your H, I do feel like he is slowly turning back to you and S4. I think there is some reason to have some hope for you and family.
It's funny how the people on this blog become almost family. I was at The Bruins last night and remembered your post about how your son loves hockey and the Bruins.
