A lot of folks you leave behind, especially emotionally immature family, will be envious and spiteful. They think you must have tons of money to live your lavish lifestyle abroad, and how come you chose to leave instead of sharing the wealth. This also translates to - how come you can’t pay for everything when you visit.
They don’t care what struggles you endure to get there, stay there, thrive there….they just don’t want to because then it’s no longer about them. And no amount of effort on your part will get them to open their mind.
Say your peace to them if you feel you must and move on. Despite the cost, you learned a valuable life lesson. Other peoples opinion of your choices are not your responsibility. You can only do what’s best for you. Lead by example and they’ll follow if they want.
