Before we even got together I made sure he knew I was leaving to go home because my little brother was very ill. I was supposed to go back in March (which passed) or August but now my parents took all my money away from me so that they could pay for things for themselves. We don't speak the same language and I have no way of telling him why I am not back yet. He knows I wasn't to come back until July (at the earliest) but now it looks like I can't make it back for even longer. I'm so upset because I just want to go over there to show him that I cared about him this whole time and the reason I didn't come back wasn't because I didn't feel like it but because I was unable. Now my question is, if the realtionship was so short is it worth it to make such a huge sacrifice to just let someone know you loved them even though you know your chance of being with them again is next to none and so much time has gone by? (I probably can't get back until January 1011, a full year after leaving him.) I just want him to understand and know that I cared...is it stupid? What should I do?

If you lived in China, do you know anyone else who can translate a letter or e-mail from English to Chinese ( I am assuming the boy is Chinese) Then you can tell him everything that has happened and let him know how you feel. It is possible that you may not be able to get back for a long time, but I believe if you have any feelings of love for someone...you should let them know.
