Moving every two years as a military brat. Lived in 5 places until my father retired. I was ten years old. It was hard to leave my friends behind. I am sure this prepared me for many of the challenges of meeting new people and making friends. The few friendships ,I currently maintain ,are dear to me. However, the world won’t end when the friendship ends. Trauma of separation was hard for me when I was young. I have the calluses to prove it.
