As a wife of a Brit living in the EU (where I am afforded full work, residence and travel rights) I had no right to vote even though Brexit affects me directly.

How close you were with friends and relatives, things do change and you are no longer part of their daily life and vice versa, that has been a big change for me since we left our homeland over 20 years ago. Our children were born in the UK and we now live in another country. They have never lived in our homeland. I turned into a true chameleon and change colour, adapt to where I live and who I meet and mingle with and that includes my accent, food taste, etc. While I still feel Dutch, I have to be honest and confess that I have not lived like a Dutchie for a long time and painfully reminded how out of place I am when we return home for a visit, I no longer fit it. On the other hand, I also feel that I am a "visitor" and will never become "one of them" when trying to mingle with the locals. The international school and community is therefore my safety network, the only place where I can be myself and where diversity is accepted and no big deal.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6798372697599428727.post-45238191218359309102017-01-08T20:24:12.728+01:002017-01-08T20:24:12.728+01:00Ouch!!

However, part of me will always be "different" than the Dutch and I'm very ok with that. I'm not 100% American. I'm not 100% Dutch. Sometimes its an odd place to be and other times it's actually just fine :) <br /><br />whatever you decide, I'm happy to follow along!
