[QUOTE="Josie, post: 393168, member: 1792"] At this point, I don't think moving is the answer. She is homebound right now, so she won't know anyone in the new neighborhood to reach out to. If it has been a problem for her all along, moving to a different place would just be the same, and at a cost to you, husband, and easy child. When she goes back to school, there will be issues no matter where she goes, either as a new kid or as the kid who was out for a while. I mean that, not as a difficult child, but for anyone. (My older daughter's private school only went up to 8th Grade so she and all of her friends are new in different schools this year. They all seem to be sticking with their middle school friends and haven't found good friends at their new schools yet.) She may have a harder time making friends, but the friends she finds will be real friends that are understanding. My daughter is on her 4th year of homeschooling for medical reasons, so I have thought about her transition at times. She had friends before, but hasn't stayed in touch with them. Those girls have moved on with their lives. When she goes back, it won't be easy for her, either. Even though she had an easy enough time making friends before, she's been out of the loop for so long, it won't be the same. Just my thoughts based on my daughter's situation. [/QUOTE]
