[quote=Anonymous]As PP stated, you can only see your side of this situation, and your DDs view may be very different. But the good news is, you seem to have raised an independent self-sufficient person. Well done. I'd recommend for ANY kid leaving for college(no matter what the family relationship is like) having a conversation about expectations for the college years. Things like what you will pay for vs what she will pay for, travel arrangements to get to/from campus (will you pick her up, who will pay for train/plane tickets, etc), setting up a parent portal account (if available), setting up a regular time to check in (not too often, once a week works for most people). Keep a line of communication open, and when you are communicating, listen more than you speak. [/quote]
