[QUOTE="BrokenheartedMum, post: 713012, member: 21851"] I get what you are saying. You know you need to let go, and you are probably happy for some relief from the situation, but you are mourning your vision of how your family would end up. I totally get it, because although I am learning that we have to surrender our visions for how it all ends up, we still are saddened by what we tried (and on some level failed) to create. We try to raise our kids with love and we envision that love coming back to us through lifelong closeness. When it doesn't, it hurts. But then again, I am thinking that asserting independence in early adulthood doesn't necessarily mean they won't come back around! We can hope! Good luck to you! And, for what it's worth, I think it is nice they will have each other in China. [/QUOTE]
