[quote=Anonymous]No need to apologize or explain. All of us handle things differently. Just sending you hugs. I cried the entire summer leading up to it and thought I would need antidepressant or anxiety meds. Contrary to what many recommend, we stayed an an extra 3 days after move (with a day an a half of not seeing DC while there) to get to know the town as well last minute stuff they needed etc.

I cried upon return home once I entered their room. Everyone says this would be hard and not to do this but I did it intentionally to get out of the way.

That said between fall break, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break the time really flew and at most was away 6-7 weeks at a time. They also attend a school with some sports on TV or streaming, sometimes I watched those just to feel somehow connected to DC, meanwhile they could care less about sports 😂.

Now they are getting ready to return for 2nd year and while I’ll miss them terribly (some say 2nd year is even harder), they are clinging to me more than I am to them.

I’m just thankful it all went well, someways better than expected despite  some frustrations.

I know it be will just as hard if not harder with the younger one but I know now I can manage.

You’re not alone. Hugs.[/quote]
