[quote=Anonymous]I was super excited to leave for college. I couldn't wait to leave my dysfunctional family. No tears at the airport for me. I did go home during the winter and summer, but not for shorter breaks like Thanksgiving or Spring Break. After college, I moved to DC and have not returned home since except to visit during Christmas. I've tried really hard to make family life with my kids pleasant, calm, and loving. As far as I can tell, they would be sad to leave home for college, but are excited about college, too. I hope this feeling continues. I want my kids to love their home, but also to have the confidence to go to college anywhere they want to. When I hear about kids who can't wait to leave home, I always wonder, given my personal experiences, if their families are dysfunctional or cold, like mine was.[/quote]
