[quote=Anonymous]I was an older teen, and losing my mom was devastating. Seeing my friends share their young adult milestones with their moms was so hard, and events such as getting my first apartment, graduating college or grad school, first job, etc. were sad for this reason. The way my dad remarried very quickly and made it clear his priority was now his new family was equally devastating. This really messed with my understanding of love and relationships, and was super hard in my early 20s when I was dating a lot. My mom would have been shocked at how my dad cut ties with me; I was certainly unprepared for this and really struggled to cope for a long time. I moved overseas as a young adult and haven't been back to the US in a decade. I would never have done that if my mom had lived. [/quote]
