I discovered the term TCK when I was feeling depressed and browsing the internet. One of the best things I have done, my discovery of people who might feel as lonely and confused as I do was relieving.
I still have a moment of feeling depressed most days but I am learning that my upbringing was unique and special and one that I should be proud of and not regretfull. Having friends all over the world is pretty awesome after all.
So I have decided to live in hope.
Thanks TCKID 😀 x
Wow, that’s almost exactly how I discovered this place. I was kinda lonely, and for some reason googled “what do you call a kid who grew up in more than one country”. And really just reading that paragraph about TCK’s shocked me more than anything else. I have always wondered what was wrong with me and why I do not enjoy having a conversation with a fellow American. And now I understand.
