[quote=Anonymous]It will be ok, OP.  Kids who are in stable and loving homes adapt--most adapt better than adults.

When my DDs were 8 and 10, we found out we were moving here to DC.  We happened to have been reading the American Girl historical doll books.  They are really helpful--most of the girls are in situations that are more dire, and they end up ok.  In the process, my kids realized that their moving-situation was not as bad as Addie's (new place, new school, only one who can't read), Julie (new place…maybe new school, but due to divorce), and I can't remember who else moved, but Kit was during the Great Depression and they had no money, and Molly during WWII, and my favorite, Josefina, living on a Rancho, mother dies, and she is learning how to read when women weren't supposed to.  Oh, and Kaya--Native American before white settlement, kidnapped by another tribe.  Great stuff, OP, and it helps.
Rebecca is a good story as well--Jewish girl in NYC; her cousins are starving in Russia.

If not for your DD, please send this info to the "suicidal" BFF's mother.[/quote]
