[QUOTE="Penta, post: 90590, member: 1644"] My almost 19 year old is not married, lives at home and although she is quite independent and resourceful, she is dyslexic and has some other processing difficulties, so I do get a little anxious when I go away. I remember the first time I left her behind, pretty much on her own and I went about 600 miles away, right after she came back from Residential Treatment Center (RTC). She was 16 and was taking a summer class and would go over to my son's to spend the weekend. She did fine navigating the bus system and finding my daughter in law at the university where she worked. She had a great weekend and was waiting for me at home when I returned. I'm going to the desert southwest in December and she will stay home alone in our new city for 5 days with our dog. She has a car now and my son and his wife live nearby. I'm sure she will do fine...yes, I will have a little anxiety in the back of my mind, but that's a normal parent thing, I think. I hope you have a good weekend with your son. [/QUOTE]
