[quote=Anonymous]Single/divorced mom of an only DS starting college next month.  I am so afraid of the loneliness that's coming that cannot be replaced by trips or new hobbies or girlfriends.

I mean, yes, I can and I will Take Up New Things and travel and call my sister more often.  Maybe I'll do a Match.com profile in earnest. But distracting myself does not negate the fact that this chapter is over and I'm mourning that already.

DS is my favorite companion.  (yes, I have a lot of friends and even a full handful of truly close ones.  But DS is my favorite).  We have spent so. much. time. together since Feb 2020 due to Covid closures and lockdowns.*

I am so excited for his future without me that I feel like I could burst sometimes.  This is what I've worked so hard for and I'm proud of him and also of me.  I'll miss him like hell.

* Not sure if this applies to any PPs, because a lot of the US wasn't as locked down as the DMV.  So many months on end of just me and DS, who got along brilliantly throughout. [/quote]
