I don't understand why he so fixated on Wellington as he doens't have any family here and he can work anywhere else in New Zealand. I think he's just being mean!
I look back and wish we had stayed in Britain when our daughter was born, we wouldn't of had any of this trouble and my ex would have been the one who had to make the choice to return to NZ or stay in the UK.
Sorry to sound bitter folks but surely I deserve the right to make something of my life and be happy in myself for my daughter, right? It's time's like this when I feel like Wellington is my prison.
I think it would be jolly unfair of a court to deny my request to study and be a proper mum to my daughter (having her move with me too). She still needs me. I'm willing to wait until she's older but Studying is something I want to do.
Am I being a selfish whinging pom?
Can't you study in Wellington or extra-murally (distance)?
