[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I got a good job there and they would obviously go to an international school so I don't quite see the problem. She will make new friends and after she graduates she can do whatever she wants and live wherever she wants. My husband and I are so done with her attitude because she's insulting us and yelling at us and sleeping over at friends houses on school nights without even asking us. We just don't engage with her anymore.

This won't traumatize her right? I mean people move all the time and adjust.
Just don't know how we will get her on a plane...[/quote]
There is a big difference moving now rather than just before senior year. But your attitude towards DD is not helping. You want her to have the rational thought process and coping skills of an adult. It feels cataclysmic to her. Do you remember what it was like to be 15? How vital your peer relationships felt, how critical everything seemed? Maybe a little reading about brain development can help you support your daughter. She needs your help and compassion but you just don’t want to deal with her emotions. A move now can be ok but it’s you that need to change and make it so.[/quote]
