[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds normal to me.[/quote] I was from a single mother home. My mother had addiction problems. I left at 18 to attend college. Just left and was entirely on my own financially. I was on athletic scholarship, which helped but I prided myself on being a very tough and independent kid, which had large elements of truth. Both in athletics and in my tough mobbed up union job in the summers, I didn’t betray an ounce of emotion. So when my oldest daughter left for college, I never imagined I would be emotional. Yikes I was emotional. And not afraid to admit it. Like many others posting here, I consoled myself by repeating that I had done a good job with her. The truth was was is that as a great kid she deserved all of the credit - - 100 percent of it - but I needed to feel a bit better in the moment. I wouldn’t judge others for caring a lot about their kids. [/quote]
