[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So…kind of like someone in the foreign service? Lots of us move every 2-3 years OP. [/quote]

OP is very concerned about your kids.[/quote]

No, I’m obviously not concerned about the stable couples in the foreign service who bounce around.

I’m concerned about Linda who left her husband and instead of staying nearby or relocating near grandparents and cousins she opted to move to Hawaii to reinvent herself. She bought a new car, spent way too much money decorating a rental, and bounced around a few jobs. Hooked up with a guy who she quickly moved into her place. Less than two years later she moved the kids clear across the country because she met a guy online. New instant Brady brunch family for a couple of years before bouncing to Florida to reinvent herself at the beach. New boyfriend, new schools, and then within a year or so it was time to move out west—because Linda really wanted to live in the mountains and maybe find a cowboy. She also thought she could make more money as a (fill in the blank for the latest career/job). Didn’t last. Another failed relationship.

The kids are older and over it. One moved in with the family of a childhood friend to finish high school with stability. One dropped out and moved back in his father. One is stuck but itching to launch.

I can’t count the dramatic shifts in hair color and styles. Or the dramatic lifestyle changes. I’m boho! I’m vegan! I’m modern punk. I’m sister wives meets Laura Ashley.

I thought I was pretty clear that I’m not talking about stable two-parent homes or people who relocate for a great job.

I’m talking about primarily single women who quit or get fired all the time and are desperate to find a new life by uprooting themselves and their kids every couple years.

I know several women like Linda.

She’s depressed and medicated but still doing crazy stuff. She’s not dumb, but she makes bad choices. All the time. [/quote]
