[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out-of-sight, out-of-mind. I worry far less than if they were doing the exact same things they are doing, but lived under my roof. Of course, I don't know about 99% of the things they are doing.[/quote] +1 What causes me most anxiety is when they tell me about an issue that has them upset and that they are having trouble dealing with. I don't try to fix their problems, but it does make me worry. But over time, I've realized that they just want to vent to me and don't think to tell me when the issue got resolved (as they always do). They also don't think to tell me the good things going on in their lives so I'm more proactive about steering our conversations toward positive things. I don't want to just be their dumping ground.[/quote]
