I am an expat living in Europe. My children are younger teens and are well settled in their private school but have no special/best friends (perhaps due to their ADHD). I am an undiagnosed ADHD mother and will most likely remain so as there are no appointments available in my area.
Given that my mental health is precarious right now, my children have zero chance of getting therapy ever, and other issues....would it make sense to move them back to my home country temporarily?
There are other advantages to the move especially for me, but I don't want to traumatize or make things worse for my children with ADHD. They are both averse to moving because of the anxiety of change.
The positives are getting therapy and psychological services, a new school which will help stimulate their brains and help with hyperfocus, a change in lifestyle and routine which will also help with the above. It will help me tremendously to be closer to my family and friends, restart a career I dropped when I moved abroad and get psychological help for myself. It will also help get a perspective about a strained marriage.
