Since last year, DD8 has occasionally told us she gets a funny stomach feeling at night from a strong feeling that she does not belong at home, in our family. My DW says she remembers having this same feeling as a child and I think I have a faint memory of this same feeling around age 10 or so. It troubles DD enough to keep her up and give her a stomach ache and actually tell us about it.
Regardless, it's a bit alarming to hear one's child say this, and I wonder whether others have similar experiences with their children? In discussing it with her, we've not pinpointed any particular circumstances responsible for this feeling. Gifted issues aside, we have a peaceful and safe household.
The only gifted angle I could put on it was the fact that DD also says she wants to have her own apartment and live with a friend, so maybe the two feelings are related.
