[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm sad but didn't cry. I think this is large part because I've been pre-grieving for a good 18 months--very conscious of how quickly time was going and how many events were the last.

Also, the kid I just dropped off made it really difficult for us the past 2 months.  She is awesome and capable and funny and smart but woah, she was not easy to live with for the months of July and August.  A weird mix of anxiety, anger (sometimes rage), and know-it-all-ness.  I had really reached the end of my rope. I'm a really hands-on parent and I've loved being a parent but I was pushed to my limit.  To be honest, it felt almost like sending her to inpatient therapy or the hospital---like she medically she NEEDED to go and fly and transition to the next step. She's an older teen (19 in Sept) and I think this contributed.

"Soiling the nest" is REAL. This was my DD last summer - by the time we dropped her off it was so bad. This summer before her sophomore year she was a joy again and we had a great relationship. Enjoy the break from each other and let is play out, for both of you.[/quote]
