[QUOTE="Star*, post: 255191, member: 4964"] MWM = HUGE HUGS.......I've been there and done what you are doing so many times I nearly lost count. No kidding - 44 moves in 11 years nearly put me in the psychiatric hospital. (Gosh I loved being married). Listen - before you check into the state Bed and Breakfast (despite the craft classes being immensely destressing) why don't you just pack a few peanut butter samiches, some cheap chips, some off brand cola and go sit in the park and just listen to the wind. Listen to nature -listen to the birds and take a nap. If it's cold? Bundle up. YOu can't change your daughters reaction to the move. You can't change the fact that your landlord is a total :censored2: and a :censored2: for a :censored2: but - you can find a minute to just take yourself out of this crazy equation. Down the street from our home is a camper park - there are 2 or 3 trailers, but the rest are campers. A few years ago it was a place for the guys working at the chemical plant construction to live while working. They moved out and sold the campers to the park. The park is making it hand over fist now and has opened another campsite down the road. There were about 3 or 4 campers before Thanksgiving. Now there are over 25 - and they are building a picnic pavillion. Most of us are just 1 paycheck away from living like that. I have hung on to our family camper because my mother jokingly said 10 years ago - "Well you'll always have a place to live." Not so funny now - and could be a reality for us as well any day. I guess what I'm trying to say is you are not alone - and you can let your daughter know that all over the US right now? People are tucking their kids to sleep in the back of the family car. She's among the lucky ones if you are getting to stay together, keep your pets and stay in the same school. She's also, NOT her sister. But I understand your fear. Hugs - PICNIC!!!!! PICNIC!!!!!!!!!!!! PICNIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Star [/QUOTE]
