We decided I should speak to his wife and take a good luck at the problem and come up with a solution. A few issues:
- They are on the verge of a divorce even tough they are still very much in love with one another;
- Their kids are miserable, having a hard time making friends, learning the language and adapting to the school. They are not doing good at the school there in spite of being Honor Roll students at their school here;
- The kids were excelling in sports but the lack of an organized league made they want to quit;
- The wife is always frustrated because she can never get anything done. The feeling of not accomplishing anything is just killing her;
- The language barrier has been very difficult to overcome.
That said, the husband couldn't be happier with his job in Mexico and with the possible outcomes after his term there is over.
I told them how the super commute is working for us and gave them a few options of places to move to. Told them all the ups and downs and how this should only be a temporary solution. I also talked to them about how to communicate their decision to the company.
In the end I couldn't help but be sad. I did not have the same issues they did and seeing them go thru things that could be avoided was really tough. Plus, it is never easy to see a family falling apart. I really, really hope they heal, they find their fun, peace, joy and happiness back. They will have wonderful days ahead. As soon as they made up their mind and decided to put the plan in action they were much happier already. As if a big weight had been lifted of their backs.
I wish them all the best in their new life with all my heart. Good Luck!!
