[quote=Anonymous]OP, I was you one year ago. Our only child, with whom we have spent lots of time, was getting ready to leave for college and I was dreading it. Even though we had also always maintained outside friendships and a few activities, most of our lives revolved around her and our time together as a family. I won’t lie— I miss her company when she’s at school, but it’s not as bad as I was afraid it would be. She’s growing and maturing, of course, but she’s not a different person when we visit or when she comes home. We’ve been able to slip back into the family rhythms pretty easily, all while enjoying the changes we see in her. You will have to develop some new routines now and get used to seeing your kid less, but it’s not like they’re moving out for good just yet. This is a process and this is just the first step. Sending hugs from one who has been there![/quote]
