You may as well have just attended school as a student for the day! It might have been more enlightening and fun. 😆

I am for some reason thinking of that old Adam Sandler movie "Billy Madison," where he goes back to preschool as an adult. Srey-Yuu and Monkey-B attend school at the same buildings, although different times. Next year if we're still here, Srey-Yuu would start studying at the big kid public school, covering grades 7 to 12. For $10 a month the private English school offered a taxi service, so we couldn't resist that deal. The girls are slowly gaining back their self-confidence, social skills, and also getting over their social phobias likely born being stranded in Suriname for far too many years.
I hope most of all the psychological damage our experience in Suriname did to the girls isn't longlasting.
I believe experiences like that can make or break you. If they don't break you they make you more empathic. Throughout it all they've had the unconditional love and support of their parents to help them through. So I think that they will come out on top and stronger for it.
It's always a tough call being a parent, because you can never really be sure you've made the right choices. What was a good approach for one was a bad approach for another. You have to just go with where life takes you, do your best and work with your children in they ways that work best for them. You also have to learn to forgive yourself when your best turns out not to be good enough. ❤
I definitely can admit I'm full of regrets from the last three years, but of course there's no way we could've known the world would close for business and both the USA and Cambodia would do nothing to assist is returning to either country as a united family.
Thanks for your insight, of course easier said than done, but that doesn't take away from the truth of your words.
