[quote=Anonymous]Two adult children, recent college graduates. One lives 10 mins away. We text several times a week, visit every week or two. Another lives 200 miles away. We text several times weekly, talk on the phone (I initiate) about once every two weeks. I'm happy they are independent, but wish we saw them more often. They are establishing their careers and lives. Separating from adult children is really, really hard, but your relationship has to change. Have twins about to graduate from high school, so I think it will be worse when my nest is empty. I'd like them to all live nearby, but that happens infrequently nowadays with spouses, careers pulling in other directions. But you can remain close even if far away. Technology has made that easier.
