[QUOTE="DDD, post: 467914, member: 35"] I don't feel comfortable offering an opinion because there are so many things I don't know. As you may recall I have raised eight teenagers. Each one had specific behaviors or reactions that the others did not display. Two, at different times, found our home stressful and wanted to move to friends homes etc. None of them were ever in danger at home but just "not comfortable" for awhile. I did not opt to let them separate from the family unit and I don't regret it. From experience I might add that even easy child's can exaggerate a problem (for example homework..which can be done after school or at the public library) as a way to avoid communication about another problem altogether. One easy child son of mine did that because he was embarrassed that I had remarried and was no longer celibate. It's possible at her age that someone has commented on her nontraditional family...hard to know what teens hear from others or begin to feel as they blossom. I doubt my post is helpful to you but thought I'd share. Disrupting her social network or trying to establish a new pseudo family after a move sounds more potentially negative than known home limitations. Good luck. DDD [/QUOTE]
