[QUOTE="Fran, post: 255181, member: 3"] MWM, where one lives does not define who you are or what you will become. I do know that moving teenagers usually causes a great deal of trauma. Give her choices. She may still be traumatized but she will have some control. I know when we told easy child we were moving after he graduated from high school, he is still sort of feeling lost. He feels he has no home?!? There is something about change that sort of rocks teens boats. You are in a difficult position and are not there by choice. Ask daughter for input. Ask her to be part of the solution. She will see that you are doing the best thing you can. Her life will be difficult and awful if she moves and may trigger a downward spiral in behavior and attitude. it's happened before. You may want to address this with her. Help her to see where the family is and what your choices are. See if she can attend the same school so that the change isn't so overwhelming. I feel for you. We moved from a nice place to a nice place after easy child and difficult child were out of the home and they still felt the impact although not as hard as if they were still in high school. It's a tough place for both of you. [/QUOTE]
