[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] All this said, your mood is VERY common for empty nest mothers. Especially if your DH is avoiding you by working more. [/quote] Yes, really understand that it's a very big transition. My youngest is still in college, but my oldest is an actual adult. It's taken me all this time to process the sadness and feeling like nothing is fun. It didn't help that my empty nest started with the pandemic. I thought I would be taking classes, exploring things, but nope (on the plus side, I did see my kids a lot more). Recognize that you may be mildly depressed - totally normal! Wrestle with getting yourself to explore, go to a museum, explore a part of the city you haven't seen, take a short trip, reconnect with someone you haven't seen in a while. After a bit your heart will follow.[/quote]
