  1. I've been here for four years now and I still feel this way. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for you to be living so out of your comfort zone - I'd find that super tough too! I'm lucky to at least live on the West Coast in a progressive area, but I do not feel connected to American Society either. I do love being on the West Coast and have enjoyed opportunities to travel and see some truly beautiful places that before coming here I'd only read about or seen in books or on TV. I also love how close we are to Canada (hello ketchup chips and being able to buy Cadbury chocolate in Walmart!). I've made some awesome friends and met some wonderful people too, but Home will always be Scotland to me, and try as I might there are just so many things I can't get used to here. I think the past year and a half have been difficult for all of us in varying ways too, so that doesn't help any feelings of sadness or homesickness either. For me, my son was born in April last year just as everything ground to a halt and shut down. The past year and a half have been relentless, with neither my husband and I having any time off and no family willing to help. That just intensified my feelings of disconnect and homesickness because all of my family in the UK were doing whatever little things they could to help us out, whilst my husband's family who live less than a minute away have done nothing. I could count on one hand how much time they've spent with my son...but that's a rant for another day 😉. So no real advice, just solidarity - moving so far from your family, your familiar places and things is really hard!
