I grew up this way. Es la verdad. Todo. ;) And this: "For many, the hardest part may be returning ‘home,’ where home is not truly home. This experience can bring its own burdens and requires sensitivity, time, and maturity to navigate." - it took me decades to adjust, and I'm not exaggerating. I tell people, moving to the U.S., was the hardest of all my international moves. Thank you, Dr. Dekleva, for your insights.
совершенно верно, Johanna. Thank you for sharing your experience and thoughts. Many expats have described home as the family unit, while the physical location is an adventure for the family to observe and consume its culture and language.
I have not read your book "Six Car Lengths Behind an Elephant: Undercover & Overwhelmed as a CIA Wife and Mother", but now I have ordered it from Amazon!!
Wonderful! The book is my mother's memoir. I edited it. I've also spoken about the book and that life at several arts & culture events. Hope you enjoy it. 😊
