Wise. Half my family lives in the U.S., the other half lives in Australia, I live in Scotland and it’s just too easy for us to need anything else. My family can transfer money in minutes from their own country’s accounts with a few clicks.

So, never lived in London, but I grew up in England and now live in Scotland and I have found it easier in some ways being neurodivergent in the UK when it comes to making friends, because that tends to supercede cultural communication styles (not always, but certainly much more often), which makes it easier to open up more quickly which, in turn, leads to closer relationships developing.

Obviously this is very much NOT a thing in British culture (generally speaking), as we like to keep things close to the vest and we tend to look down on things like oversharing/directness, in general. So I have found that I have struggled more here when trying to communicate neurotypically to people than I have when just speaking naturally to me (neurodivergently), and “uncovering” other ND Brits that way.

My mom and dad are completely different nationalities (one North American, the other dual European-Australian).

I now live in my father’s country and my mother desperately wishes she could be with the kids and I but can’t because of immigration ties.

Probably not directly relevant to your situation because you guys are married, but just an illustration of how devastating it could be for your future kids to find themselves in a situation where they need to live in one country but their other parent can’t access it.
