[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I got a good job there and they would obviously go to an international school so I don't quite see the problem. She will make new friends and after she graduates she can do whatever she wants and live wherever she wants. My husband and I are so done with her attitude because she's insulting us and yelling at us and sleeping over at friends houses on school nights without even asking us. We just don't engage with her anymore.

This won't traumatize her right? I mean people move all the time and adjust.
Just don't know how we will get her on a plane...[/quote]

Yes she will be fine in the long run. Shes a teenager who sees moving as losing all her friends social life etc.. Shes scared of the changes and to her its the end of the world. Yes she will adjust and make new friends in Spain. You are not a bad parent, you are doing what you need to do which is relocating for a job. The world and life does not stop because shes in highschool. She is a child and unfortunately for her has to go  with you but once she turns 18+ she can relocate back to the states if she chooses but for now she goes with you.

As for the attitude acknowledge her feelings as there her feelings and valid but explain that this move is non negotiable and being disrespected because of it will not be accepted and ignore her when shes in a mood. [/quote]
