You replied:
"The validity of the change construct for a Family youth is an interesting issue that has to do with instrument norming on a culturally-specific group."
Okay, assuming that I am understanding what you say (and not missing the meaning due to my not having your training), I don't think that the construct of change is invalid for a Family youth, but I do think that one cannot take the response to indicate anything related to making the life change to the wider world. I don't think one can say "this guy finds they are good with change, ergo they should be good with leaving the Family."
When you say you don't completely understand my first point, it's probably because I am trying to convey something that is complex and I have not had the time with my work schedule to put it in words for you. However, if I were able to properly put it into words, I wouldn't expect you to completely understand it either. You haven't experienced it.
I will use a very rough and simplistic comparison. It's like saying that because we are very good with changes, we can surely do quite well living underwater, or on the moon.
