[quote=Anonymous]XDH left in the spring of our youngest kid’s junior year of high school. It wasn’t any better. I hung onto the house to give the kids some stability, especially teen DS who had one more year of high school. One thing a therapist did say to me was that kids want/need that stability for their first year of college. But after they come home for Christmas and Spring breaks that first year, they’ve started to develop their own support systems and don’t need their homes as much. I noticed this to be true with my two college-age kids. Also, teen DS chose to spend 100% of his time with me for his last year of high school, and I’m sure that having his room and his home was part of it. Both kids still refuse to spend any time at XDH’s new place, partly because XDH was such a jerk about leaving, but I really think keeping their home, rooms and stuff meant a lot to them during these transitions.[/quote]
