[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just wanted to show you some support OP.  My husband works and travels very frequently and we have no family near.  It is hard.  Moving is frustrating too- the starting over.  It sounds like DH has already taken the job so now you need to pick up the pieces and get things going on your end in finding a house and such.  Since you can't change the situation, best to try and come to terms with it in a positive way.

If you can afford it, get a full service move, packing included.  It makes moving WAY less stressful.  Look at it as a new adventure and new opportunity to make friends.  Put a positive spin on it for your kids' sake and maybe you might start thinking that way too about it.

[b]And for those comparing this to the military- it isn't comparable.  The military largely is its own family and adjusting is quite easy because there is so much help and programs in place for service members at new duty stations.  Everyone is constantly coming and going.  Plus since no one has family near and many are new, people seek out each other for to form their own support.  [/b]

This is true overseas. It’s not true in the US unless you live on base/post and most do not.  [/quote]
