I had an epiphany today... I was doing what I have found myself doing at random times, and that is reflecting on things that have happened in my past so that I can learn from it and use it in current times to prevent a repeat of the past.

Anyhow, in my earlier years (From Kindergarten - Highschool) I moved almost every year, for which I did not even think twice about... Until today when I thought to myself... Is it possible that my ability to maintain a healthy relationship with those who are my friends is drastically affected because of my childhood?

Here is what history presents with me:

• I made friends very easily.
• When I moved, my relationship with those friends would suffer.
• I would lose one friend and pick up another.
• My intimate relationships too have suffered.

So, that being said, what do you think? Is it possible that an unstable home life where the constant of moving is always a factor in someones ability to retain a relationship? Or am I just fishing?

Thanks!

No, you're not just fishing. I'm almost positive I've read something about this very subject, perhaps in connection with studies of the children in military families. I will try to remember to remember to look...

Please keep posting.

Thanks for the reply. It is really weird as I am now finally getting my mental illness taken care of and I am starting to realize things that affect my life in my current times. I just wonder how much of a factor this has on peoples issues.
