[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My only child will be leaving for college in just over a month and it is breaking my heart at the thought of him not being around day to day. The older he’s gotten the more I actually enjoy him as a person so it feels like a huge loss. I know this is a normal part of life and part of important growth into an adult but emotionally knowing that the concentrated time I have with him is coming to an end makes me very sad. He has been to sleep away camps in the past where I didn’t have contact with him for weeks, but I knew I would get him back after that. I know he will likely still text me most days, and we will talk on the phone, but I will miss the day to day incidental experiences and conversations. For those of you who have gone through this, how hard is the separation really? Am I working myself up over something that won’t be as hard as I think it will be? Any words of comfort greatly appreciate it! [/quote]

Make this about him and not you. It makes it a lot easier. [/quote]
