[quote=Anonymous]I moved 45 minutes away from where I grew up when I was a sophomore because my mom remarried. The hardest part was making new friends in a community where kids had grown up together. I made some, but only kept in touch with one later on. The friendships weren’t that deep. I didn’t get to keep friends from where I grew up because it was too far to get together regularly and this was pre-drivers license and cell phones. I still wish we hadn’t moved (and my mom thinks it was a mistake). I don’t know about the word “trauma”, but I definitely felt a disorienting and long-term difficulty with friendships because of the move. I agree with others who suggest getting both kids a therapist. They need an adult to help them process this, and that adult may not be able to be you. Having a “get over it” attitude may result in them being distant from you through high school and as young adults. [/quote]
