About
Hello,
I come from Morges, Switzerland.
I will be 41 this year.
My children are 19 and 14.
I was a young mother, and for more than 10 years I had a very complicated life... between the education of my children and my work. Besides that, I had a lot of problems with my ex-husband...
The father of my eldest son, when I met him, lived half the year on his boat in Thailand.
He was 29 years older than me, and I fell in love when I wasn't expecting anything but that...with him and especially with Thailand!!!
For 4 years, from 1997 to 2001, we lived half the year in Switzerland, in order to work and we left to live the other half in Phuket and also (with the boat), we sailed between Southern Thailand and Malaysia.
After living 4 years in this way...I separated from the father of my son, who was 2 years old.
The age difference, and the way I saw our child's future...ended up leading us to make this decision.
On the other hand, we remained in very good contact and my son went every year, during the Christmas holidays, to join his Dad in Phuket.
In the meantime, he started his life again with a very nice Thai woman; had a baby together... well he still lives in Phuket today, and receives his pension to live there simply. That is to say, in a local house, in simplicity, like the locals.
Today, if I am on this site writing to you... it's because I have been struggling with life for several years, which is only getting worse!!!
I had decided to live in Switzerland, in order to offer roots, friends... family, etc... to my children.
I have been in RI for 5 years... waiting for a response from the AI, a 2nd pillar to contribute for 20 years, but Swiss law has changed; it is impossible to remove your 2nd pillar., When leaving permanently abroad.
On the other hand, regarding AI, if I even obtain a pension of 30%, for example...I know that that would be enough for me.
I don't want a big house..., I don't want to own anything!!! Just rent a bangalow, and eat like the locals...the peace of a simple life, in harmony with this peace within me...which is torn apart by all this stress that is imposed on us here, in Switzerland.
If anyone has the patience to read my story and has any advice to give me, I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you in advance 馃檹
And greetings to all of you!
