[quote=Anonymous]Ignore the resident trolls, OP. I have one much younger left at home, and like you, the move out transitions for my older kids were bittersweet. Of course you grieve the loss as you also look forward to the future and are happy for your son. It’s completely natural. We often tear up at first steps. We want our babies to walk, we’re thankful and excited, but also there’s a twinge of sadness knowing that babyhood is over. I think keeping busy is great, but let yourself cry and feel sad as you need to. It’s a process. Giving yourself permission to grieve will free you from the cycle of repressing the sadness and it bubbling up again. [/quote]
