[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP. I dropped my oldest off two years ago and was a wreck in the weeks leading up to it. I was crying almost nightly at the thought of him leaving. Then, an acquaintance lost her son of the same age in a horrible accident. My entire perspective shifted. We are so lucky to be able to send our kids to college out in to the world. It is a gift many parents don't get. I still missed my son when he was gone, but I appreciate the chance to see him make his own way in the world. And as others have mentioned, the relationship you can develop with your adult children is very rewarding. This transition is emotional, but appreciate the fact you are getting to make it. [/quote] I always try to think this way: I GET to drop my kid off at college. Could be a lot worse. We almost didn't get to have him so I focus on this. [/quote]
