[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a trauma event. Don’t be so sure that it won’t also be harming your son. He may act like he doesn’t care but some kids hide and can’t process their emotions.

If this is a lark because you’ve watched House Hunters International and want to be an expat, just wait until your son graduates. If this is your only job opportunity and it’s the only way to keep your family clothes and fed then get both kids therapy stat.

Therapy will help them process their pain, let them be heard and give them tools to manage. I’d recommend CBT rather than talk therapy. Find someone who will do it remotely so you can keep it up if needed when you move. Good luck![/quote]

You people are so ridiculously over the top dramatic it’s actually unhinged.

Is moving difficult? Yes. Will there be a rough adjustment period? Absolutely. Is it [b]traumatic[/b]? Not unless there are other issues.

OP should obviously be more sensitive to her daughter’s feelings, but she is NOT going to irreparably harm her by moving. That’s an insane take.

Smart, caring parents are jumping on the opportunity to move their families out of the failing empire that is the United States. [/quote]

Per the above poster, research does show that moving at this late age of childhood can have lifelong negative impact. I also did research on science of this before a move with kids in late elementary. We had to move, but we decided we would not again after that until both kids had graduated. [/quote]
