[quote=Anonymous]It helped enormously when I remembered I had to switch the focus from me to her. She was excited for a new environment - new state, sharing a room, etc. She was excited about her classes and the topics that seemed more exciting than high school. She was excited to see friends she had already made at orientation. I felt I couldn't take that away from her by dragging her down to my emotions. Her school has parents and students together for an event and then students leave for more orientation. It's somewhat of a group goodbye which was MUCH easier than driving away from a lonely child on the steps of a dorm. At first I thought it was terrible to have a public weep fest, but in hindsight it was a good thing.[/quote]
