[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My family moved across the country (pre internet/pre tech) when I was a pre teen and I lost contact with all of my friends.[/quote]

are you serious? that's it?[/quote]

NP here.
You know what? My kid is really struggling with a move we made last summer. Her friends have moved on without her, she hasn’t found her feet where we live now, her confidence has plummeted. It is hard to see her so down, and to see what a shift it has been from her former self. 
She in fact has gone through a bigger trauma—losing her dad as a toddler—but  this isn’t a contest and I do see our move as a defining and traumatic event for her.
Who are you to judge?[/quote]

New poster here. Just want to add that moving 3 years ago has caused significant trauma for my teen.  It was two years before she made a friend, and she now has social anxiety that. We are going to start medicating for. It’s been hell. As her mom I’ve cried over her trauma. 
I also have a younger child who has totally thrived with this move and has never been happier. 
My point it please don’t judge other people’s trauma. Also, it’s not a contest. [/quote]
