Then everyone is chickensh!t to admit that their kid isn't adjusting or isn't so resilient.

I was adjusted and happy, but I missed the life I had before. BUT I was still okay.

One thing that I took away from all of the moves growing up was my siblings were my always-friends. It sounds like your kids have that, too. It doesn't fix everything, but it is a gift--even now that we're older. Anyway, my heart breaks with you. xoKatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15456733077542868694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15694514.post-55116206602581488512011-01-05T17:09:59.408-07:002011-01-05T17:09:59.408-07:00Steph, I have two comments. . . well, maybe three....Steph, I have two comments. . . well, maybe three.<br /><br />1. I totally agree with adults not taking kids' emotions seriously. Teaching middle school, I see it all the time. Adults (parents mostly, frankly) roll their eyes at their kids' dramas-- break-ups, friend fights, etc. They forget that to the kids, those feelings are very real and very huge. <br /><br /><br />2. aliasmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13021675396545073308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15694514.post-87370055354887555372011-01-05T11:55:38.815-07:002011-01-05T11:55:38.815-07:00Oh friend... {hugs}...

It was the worst on that last move, because I was old enough to understand that I was probably going to lose all those friendships that I had. There were days when I thought I'd rather be dead than go to the new school again, and the thought of my old friends morninglight mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128926711800459894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15694514.post-87297773346806974002011-01-05T06:01:03.415-07:002011-01-05T06:01:03.415-07:00Oh, MM, that just breaks my heart.

They are so blessed to have a mom like you that is so in tune. The fact that they're expressing those hurts is a tribute to how you've loved them and how much they trust you. Prayers for peace and calm spirits for all of you. xoxoHeidi @ Decor & Morehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13914552225252918719noreply@blogger.com
