[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You should think about trying to get a job.  This is not that difficult.  Kids grow up, they move on, they get married and start spending Christmases with their inlaws.  Time to buck up.[/quote]

Please start your own thread "why I am miserable and need to inflict it on others, even those suffering".

I am shocked at how insensitive and downright mean some can be. Go away. OP- Good luck, its not easy to see a family in transition when the kids are all going their own way, especially when you are at a stay at home mom. It is much harder on a non working mom than a working mom in the sense that your entire existence has centered around the kids. I purposefully got a job managing a local retail design shop in my sons senior year for this very reason. Then I took myself back to school to not let any grass grow under my feet. It was a tough time made easier by being busy and throwing myself into as much as possible. In the end, you are better for yourself and happier and definitely better for those who love you. Hang in there..if it does not get better even with trying new things, seek the help of a good therapist. Best of luck and try to see the joy in what you have achieved![/quote]

Not the PP, but want to say the comment about getting a job is a good one. Why so hostile?[/quote]
