    Informative as always Angie, I have two collegues ( Whom I work with in Kenya now) who were working in Dubai but quit their jobs to relocate back home to Kenya, reason: One couldn't take the pain that his kids always ran away from him whenever he returned to Kenya for holidays after a year or so, to them he was this stranger invading their home.
    As a parent nothing gives me joy than coming home to my family/kids every day(even if I ain't earning as much as I would like to) and they sharing day events to me.
    As for your daughter, if she had a sibling she would have had an easier time but given your situation that's not an option for now. I'd advise you to start working aggressively towards investing back home by buying a house, getting an education insurance for your daughter, get a job locally or get into some income generating activities inorder to be with your daughter and getting to share her milestones together

    Story of my life.....It has been four years now since I set my eyes on my little Angel,but iam grateful to God that she is healthy and in good care of my Mom,she doesn't remember how I look but one thing I know she still knows that iam her Mommy and I love her soo much,iam here For a season and a reason ,very soon am gonnah see her and I pray that I never leave her again because this feeling is hurting.....I can't count how many times I have broken down and felt Nostalgic whenever I think of my Mom and daughter, but all in all God remains God....to all moms and dads going through this situation i send hugs to you,it is not easy....hugs to you Angie my county mate.....My girl talks to me when she feels like...... she is the Boss,sometimes I cry and even feel like am a bad Mom,she calls me a liar because I always tell her am coming back home but I don't so she doesn't see the need of talking to me......For me I stopped crying and whenever I feel like crying I end up listening to Some Gospel Music and dance the hell out of me,afterwards I pray and feel better thou Nostalgic feeling is real and normal.

      Sella Obinya my sister there is no need to lie to the kid. Tell her the truth. Like my little angel mommy can’t come home because at the moment if she does she won’t be able to work n pay your school fees or buy you toys. It’s better day way that saying l will come l will come cause it creates a false hope in the child’s head. Tell her however mommy is working on being able to come bt she does not know when so that she does think you are abandoning her. You are a great mom my dear it’s better to be away n provide than to be present n end up angry for not being able to provide

    Hi Angie I want to encourage you. My parents left the country when I was 10 to work as expats elsewhere due to a poor economy. I was in boarding school till 18 and saw them during holidays, calls were rare then but letter writing was the option in the early years. Children are resilient and we don't give them as much credit. I'm in my 30s and my Mother still feels guilty about leaving. I always tell her you did the best you could at the time, we went to decent schools and felt loved by keeping a stable home with structure in their absence. I left home at 19 and moved continents. The resilience and confidence was learnt through independence at a young age. Sometimes in life we make the hard decisions that not many can make, when you have your vision it makes it a bit more bearable.

    I’m not a parent BUT I was a child whose parents had to live abroad for years and I was left behind with grandparents. I think you should call your kid as much as you can! That way you can know what’s going on in her life. My parents never called much and it would have made such a big difference if they did.

    Hi Angie, l really feel you and can imagine the situation you are in, l too am a single mother with a 5 yr old daughter. My suggestion that you buy a phone specially for calling your daughter at home, whereby you can be sending bundles to call her. Make a permanent day convenient to both of you and be calling her on weekly basis or whenever you want. that way you will be both looking forward to the day. Even though it can be expensive, it’s a good investment.technology has made it easier for us to communicate and make use of it.

    Angie blood is thicker you know , my two kids aged 4 and 2yrs are living with my mum , i came here last yr oct and imagine being a maid , you don't get to go out and meet other people all day you only with this arabs ... it has never being easy, first when i started working my boss was like if you want to call your family i will give you my fone ... she didnt want me to use my phone i was hurting so deep i had to face her and tell her its either you connect me yo wifi or buy a simcard or i quit ... i told her my kids are back home i need to see them n them to see me..thats when she connected me to her wifi ... i remember dec their dad took them for two good weeks and jan when he brought them back to my mum , they really changed coz they cried and also my son the younger one completely changed , that even taking shower he didnt want to, if he does something and someone try to stop him he cried hysterically ...it really hurt me that i had to stop his dad from visiting them but thank God feb he went and visited and they were fine ... jan i was about to quit but i knew it would not be possible vile sisi house maids tunakaliwa sio mchezo ... najikaza coz i bought my mum a smart fone and we communicate almest daily nikiona wako na raha nakua relieved...

    I also hope you have an open, deep dialogue with your child. There is alot of childhood trauma, child abuse/ molestation going on in Kenya. I don't want to scare you but it's happening. Her being a girl, makes her more vulnerable. Please pay attention.

    Depression is real it comes at different times and variety of reasons, leaving your child is not easy difficult decision but remember why u are I Quatar,get yr child a phone u can communicate more often,your child is in good hands your mom took care of her like she took care of u.Its tough so sorry for Solange I'm 61my mom died and I miss her I could tell her anything.Get professional help and vitamin B12 gives life and energy please get some.I stuggle daily thank God for technology maybe I would die already.Try speaking to her daily and that will make a difference she's so sweet.
