[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 120704, member: 1967"] I don't look at my difficult child's moving out as the end of our relationship. Instead, I look at it as the start of a different kind of mother/daughter relationship ~ one of an adult mother and adult daughter leading their own lives while still enjoying special times together. I have wonderful memories of difficult child as a little girl and not so wonderful memories of the teenage years but I am ready for a new role as the parent of adult children. Isn't that really the goal of every parent? Don't we all want our children to grow up to be functioning, independent adults that move out and lead their own lives? ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
