1) If one of my kids is threatened or hurt, I don't have to go to jail for 15 years to honor or protect them (USA Style). I can do a UK overnight. (It is not like I am looking for trouble...to the contrary, I want to be able to protect my kids and defend their honor without having them homeless and probably with their violator because I would end up in jail for protecting them).

2) I won't always have the stress of worrying about whether or not we can afford the medical bills we get here. (My wife is in average health for a 26 year old), but tends to have alot of smaller health issues some of which are due to the fact that her mother and father are both dead at age 46 and 50.

3) I won't have to worry about my children going to college as much as I would here. Some college is free in the UK. I don't want them to encounter the potentially unpayable debt and all of the stress that I have come to know that is associated with it.

4) For reasons mentioned in the above post, I am financially afraid of living like this. I am not a big fan of government hand outs, but I'd rather be in the UK where government can be my daddy if I fall into financial havoc yet again than to see my kids do without. The concept of "don't worry you will find another job" has failed me many times. Now, with no support system, I cannot afford that type of failure.

I know in the end it is only me who can call the shots and knows my situation best, but I don't want to be too flighty when things are now going relatively good nor do I want to wait until they go wrong again and not be able to make my escape!

Thank you for your time!

in response to your post about uk or us

i can give you some input about living in the uk as i have one all my life

1,all parents want to protect there child/childrens honour and are even willing to go to jail for this
not sure about laws to this i suppose depends on the crime

2,yes they way we go about our medical things are diferant as we use the nhs(natinal health service)
which is paid for by your wages
prescriptions are not free, waiting lists to have medical precidures are long, mental health teams cant do there best because not enough resources for the amount of ppl with mental health problems the dentist system sucks in uk at the moment because most dentist were nhs and are leaving the nhs to go private there isnt eniough dentists for everyone some ppl have to travel miles just to be seen and others only go when they have a problem missing out on the check ups and all

3,education is free up untill they reach 16 if they decide to go on to further education (collage) this to can be free and they could get money for going depending on parents income but if they go to university they have to pay they can borrow this and pay it back when they are in a job which allows them to afford to pay it bk

4,yes the goverment will help you out if you fall on hard times if you pay stamp you get bk some money to support your family and also help with rent its all down to if you qualify

this just some of the things we deal with
