[QUOTE="DDD, post: 47969, member: 35"] My #1 easy child went to the University and I had very little problem with her absence. It really surprised me! THEN before her first year was over she announced that she was moving out of the dorm and into an apartment with her boyfriend. I was shocked! Quickly I realized that I couldn't stop her "bonding" but I was convinced that I could talk her into keeping her dorm room just as a refuge ..."just in case you want to be alone on occasion". easy child for the first time in her life told me NO. I cried as she left to go back to school. I had told her we would let her live whereever she wanted but we would only keep paying for her education if she kept the dorm room "even if she never visited it again". Not! A week later I talked with her and told her that I loved her and was afraid that she might be hooking up in a relationship that would prevent her from spreading her wings etc. etc. I asked her if she would call me once a week just so I could hear her voice and know she was ok. She promised. She and her boyfriend/husband have an outstanding marriage, they both are very successful with the careers and they are extremely supportive of our needs. About ten years ago her husband and I got on the same page........better late than never, lol. Try to have a simple lifeline with your easy child. It will alleviate alot of fears and give you a chance to hear her sweet voice. DDD [/QUOTE]
