[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is horrible - there are many USAID direct hires and their families overseas. How are they getting home? Who is looking out for them?[/quote]

They're being evacuated this week and if not home by Saturday, Trump is sending the military in. [/quote]

You’re kidding me - that is so traumatic for everyone, but will the kids really be pulled out of school and their home like that?[/quote]

Yes. They have 30 days to return to the US. It horrible for the American public servants and unfathomable to the poorest of the poor that USAID has served. [/quote]

As a long term expat, this was not unusual. Families moved all the time during school years as postings changed or companies sent people back home or transferred to another country. Moving mid term isn't traumatic. In many countries when the work visa is cancelled, you have to leave within a certain number of days, usually 30. If you're an expat you learn to be resilient, especially if working in developing countries. Let's slow down with throwing around the word "trauma" everywhere as it's only making it meaningless.

No this is traumatic - check out the mental health outcomes for TCKs. Family members ignoring the trauma and not helping their children to process their grief about losing friends and your whole routine at the drop of a hat under the guise that kids are "resilient" are not helping anything.[/quote]
