[quote=Anonymous]I went through this four years ago when my twins (and only) went to college. I am married but do not have a great relationship. The first thing I did the spring before they left was to lose weight so I could get back to things I loved such as tennis and Pilates. I literally scheduled my first tennis lesson for the night we took them to school. I started Pilates that same week. I have two dogs and I love to walk them so I get out in the country every day and that helps my mental health. I work from home and I just need to get a change of venue.

My daughter and I are very close, in fact she’s home this weekend from college and we still spend tons of time together. We talk on the phone every day and text often - all driven by her. It is possible to be close to your dd and have her be away at school. They do come home often for breaks etc.

I’m now freaking out because mine will be graduating and while they will likely remain in the DC area, the thought of them not “living here” in my house really depresses me. Nothing you can do but just hope that with each new phase, there are new things to learn and do together. [/quote]
