Welcome to Surviving Maybell. Sounds like your plate is full. Moving under the best and most desirable conditions is stressful so I know your situation is extremely difficult. My mother just underwent a forced moved about 6 months ago (not due to a divorce per se - although it was basically to divorce her from her daughter (my sister) who was making her life a living hell and refused to get out of the house - long story) and she shed lots and lots of tears over it. However, she is starting to turn the corner, still not entirely happy but day by day things get a little bit better.

Have you talked with your kids about answering those types of questions from their friends about the move so that they have a ready response that they are comfortable with sharing?

Best,
BA
