[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 646027, member: 59"] MWM I must confess I am the same way. My easy child is 28 and just moved an hour away. She lived five minutes away before and I went there every day to let her dogs out because she worked long hours. I often brought her laundry home and did any other chores she needed. She never asked me to do that I just did it on my own. When she transferred jobs an hour away I was so sad. I didn't know what I would do with myself. I got over it. I still wish she was closer but I have coped fine and filled my days with other things I enjoy. I even started excercising, walking 3 miles a day, and I feel much healthier and have lost about 10 pounds. MWM is correct, it is our job to raise our kids and send them out into the world. If they want to have a relationship with us that's great but if not then we still owe it to ourselves to make a life for ourselves. My mother never did that and I felt responsible for her happiness until the day she died. I hope you are filling your days with me time. [/QUOTE]
