Yes, Loth I think that is very therapeutic for him
ML, it would not be good for us to move at this point. There's not many towns we'd want to live in that we can afford between here and there. And with difficult child 1 just starting high school, it would not bode well for the social issues he's already grappling with.
I think it's just going to be a period of adjustment for him, and reminders that it's NOT forever and something better WILL come along.
