[quote=Anonymous]I moved a lot as a kid for my dad's job. I had trouble making friends and always felt like an outsider. I think it affected my long term mental health, and I still always feel like an outsider even though I've lived in the same house for 16 years. To those who were military kids and saying this isn't true -- I think that's different. We know military families; almost exclusively they have 2 things that other types of transplant families don't necessarily -- (1) a built in community of other military spouses and kids with similar stories and values and who are looking to build community, and (2) often (although I realize not always) a SAHP who provides stability in the home through the moves.[/quote]
