Make them understand that it will be hard for you too to say Good bye and that it will break your heart a little,( or a lot ) but they brought you up to be independent and live your own life.
Good luck
HI Janice
It will be hard to tell your folks, but once you do you will feel a lot more stress free, We have not moved to OZ yet but hopefully August this year, I told my parents and family at the begining of our application that we wanted to move to australia and that was hard, i kept putting it off, even my brother who i work with every day, I had to get him on his own and just blurt it out, but once i told every one you feel a whole lot better.
Good luck Swordfish
