Why do they leave?<\/h2>\n<p>When you decided to expatriate your home country and pursue a new opportunity abroad &#8211; when you said farewell to your loved ones and walked away (with a lump in your throat and a heavy heart), did you ever imagine that\u00a0<span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff6600;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/expatchild.com\/importance-goodbyes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">saying goodbye<\/a><\/span> would become such a permanent life fixture?<\/p>\n<p>During the summer months, cities across the world all but empty of expats and there\u2019s a variety of reasons for the phenomena.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Many take the summer holidays as an opportunity to visit family and friends at \u2018home\u2019.<\/li>\n<li>In some countries, especially in the Middle East, non-working parents and children abandon the bread winner to escape the extreme heat.<\/li>\n<li>Others choose this time of year to move on to the next adventure, coordinating with school term times etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For the ones who are leaving, there\u2019s generally something to look forward to; less so for the ones who are left behind.<\/p>\n<h3>The never-ending goodbyes<\/h3>\n<p>As expats, we value friendships very highly; the connections we make are our insurance against loneliness and frustration &#8211; but the idea that those relationships are transient can be really depressing.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s interesting to compare the experiences of those<em> leaving<\/em> and those <em>left behind<\/em>. They\u2019re all saying goodbye to people who have become important to them over time, but there\u2019s a vastly different psychology in play and it\u2019s all about choice. When you first moved away from your family, those goodbyes were excruciating &#8211; but<em> you<\/em> were the one who chose to make them.<\/p>\n<p>That, without doubt, is the most difficult thing about this time of year; if you\u2019re the one that can\u2019t go \u2018home\u2019, the one who gets left behind, the feeling of abandonment can be overwhelming unless you recognise it and take steps to dispel it.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you do?<\/h3>\n<p>Well, you can\u2019t change the season, you can\u2019t leave and you can\u2019t make people stay, so your options are limited. The inspiration for a positive summer experience is going to have to come from you and you\u2019re going to need to be resourceful.<\/p>\n<p>One thing that can be helpful \u2013 although not always easy \u2013 is to make sure that <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/expatchild.com\/finding-community-overseas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">your social circle isn\u2019t entirely restricted to other expats<\/a>.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0They can be a great source of comfort and companionship and of course the shared experiences of moving around make it easy to connect on an emotional level but at some point, you, or they, will move on. That\u2019s not to say that we should avoid making connections just to avoid pain further down the road, of course not, but building local relationships can help to provide a constant (until <em>you <\/em>leave that is!).<\/p>\n<p>The other thing we\u2019ve found particularly helpful is to <span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600;\" href=\"https:\/\/expatchild.com\/surviving-summer-expat-exodus\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">plan the summer months in advance<\/a>.<\/span><\/span> It\u2019s no good sitting around moping and waiting for people to come back, that\u2019s only makes the time go slower! Use the time to visit places you\u2019ve been meaning to see, to join local groups you\u2019ve heard good things about, to catch up on things that need doing around the house and to spend quality time with those left behind with you.<\/p>\n<p>If you have children, many of their friends will have moved away for the summer too and they\u2019ll be bored. For once they won\u2019t moan about spending time with you so take the opportunity to play lots of games, reinvent the garden, read lots of books, explore lots of tourist hot-spots (they\u2019ll be quieter now!) and enjoy each other\u2019s company as much as possible. It won\u2019t be long before the summer ends and you\u2019re back to being \u2018the parent\u2019 so make the most of a chance to be a friend instead.<\/p>\n<p>The end of the summer season heralds a very different sort of challenge of course. Some friends return \u2013 those that were only taking extended holidays \u2013 but some are replaced with new expats starting out on <em>their <\/em>great adventure. Every year there are new faces, new stories, new challenges and a completely new community dynamic to get used to.<\/p>\n<p>We adapt to making new friends, we have no choice, but that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s always a joy. Sometimes it\u2019s all just too much and you want to crawl inside a blanket fort and never come out again! Change makes people feel vulnerable and it <em>is <\/em>hard work constantly adjusting &#8211; but as expats, if we don\u2019t get used to bending with the wind of change, we run the risk of snapping under the pressure instead.<\/p>\n<p>When you think about it, there are positive elements to such a transient lifestyle. Saying goodbye doesn\u2019t get any easier but repeating it time and again does teach us to value every moment, to be less afraid of change and to make the most of the time we have. This is the expat gift; when things get tough and we feel like it\u2019s one goodbye too many, we can hang on to the fact that our lives are truly enriched by so many different people, cultures and experiences, transient or not.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Expat Summer Exodus.
