[QUOTE="Momslittleangels, post: 65737, member: 905"] You are all very wise and I appreciate your heartfelt comments. I think it would feel different if I knew that she was "going off to college" and I was prepared for that transition, but to have her just disappear one day and slow down the communications to a screaching halt will really take some adjustment on my side. She is an independent young woman, but also a bit on the spoiled side, so she doesn't always have empathy for anyone else's feelings (I guess I didn't for my own mother either, but she was a work of art and very self centered her entire life). I thought easy child and I had a different type of relationship, so it caught me completely off guard and without warning. I will heed your warnings and NOT make a fuss when she calls. I will NOT make her feel guilty for not calling me and I will NOT try to pry, but keep things light. You do things a certain way for 18 years and it's hard to just shut that off in a heartbeat. THAT is what I wish she could understand, but perhaps that won't come until she's older. Thank you all so much!!! [/QUOTE]
