[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 217946, member: 3626"] It really does hurt when they move out. You're lonely. You wonder if you did the right thing in forcing them move. Amazingly, our kids usually do remarkably well. I gave my daughter a choice last year -- move out or let me kill her. Not sure why, but she opted to move. Found a roommate, a nice apartment and is doing okay there. Yes, it's a crash pad for friends, the beer bottles abound, the place makes a pigsty look spotless but she's working, she gets mad at her roomie for bringing home a flavor of the week girl, for the messes he doesn't clean up, etc. She visits me often and stays for days. When I've had enough of her, I send her back to her place. We get along much better, we talk, we laugh, we're becoming friends. Personally, I think we're doing our kids a favor when we finally shove them out of the nest. They may be afraid to go but if they have no choice and no there is little chance they'll be able to come home, they do manage to survive and many of our kids actually grow up. So, I think that in long run you're doing the best thing. Not only for you but for your son. He is an adult. He will have to learn how to live on his own or at least live without all of mommy's supports one day. Better he learn it now than when you're no longer to help him. Having a place for him to go with some real supports is a great thing. That he is seeing the pluses to this place makes it even better. Ya done good! [/QUOTE]
