@be4christ My dad had to work abroad as I did. The main difference is that I was able to bring my family with me because he had to work in the middle east and I moved to the US. I have probably spent more time with my daughter now than he has ever spent with me. His life was definitely harder than mine if you just consider what he had to forgo just to give his family a better life. There simply weren't a lot of opportunities during his time to move up the social ladder without working abroad.
Personally I think it could've been harder for me to sustain a family now than before, but because I was given a leg up by my dad's sacrifices I was able to get into a well-paying career and am doing quite decently for it.
