That is why my own family (nuclear and extended) is important to me. Nobody else in the world I share those things with in that way. [/quote]

Agree with all these.

Also, I’m not like you, OP - I was an army brat and moved growing up, and then later through schooling and jobs until marriage/nuclear family was created - so I don’t have that same continuity of people knowing me since I was a child that you do.  The people that knew me back when are my blood relatives.  I don’t know what it’s like to live in a place and grow deep roots although I’m hoping to create that now for my kids.[/quote]

OP here: I can’t say that I lived in one place and grew deep roots.  Moved from country of origin at 2, moved around at least four times before the age of 8, stayed there until college and moved right after.  [/quote]

OK, well age 8 to college age is a nice chunk of time - I didn’t have that.[/quote]
