[QUOTE="DDD, post: 141299, member: 35"] Everybody has posted the same "feelings" I would post. It is hard to move from first place to ??? place. It is hard to accept that our children do not have the obligation to us that we have felt for them since they took their first breathe. It is hard. Personally I think the most difficult part is that Moms forget who to H they are as individual people because they are absorbed for decades with the presence, needs and perceived needs of their children. Just like after a divorce........it is time to reanalyze your interests. Find anything that "may" be enjoyable and go for it. Many "empty nesters" discover a whole new fulfilling interest that allows them to let their adult children fly off to explore the world. I understand. I am not minimizing your feelings. It's just that having been there done that, like many others who have posted, I know that the emphasis has to be on YOU in order to survive this painful period. Hugs. DDD PS: Yes, I know. I haven't experienced an empty nest..lol. BUT I really did have similar feelings of loss with the adults who left home. We'll see how I do if difficult child and easy child/difficult child can fly away! :blushing2: [/QUOTE]
