[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 629360, member: 1157"] Deep breaths. Remember, this is what is *supposed* to happen - kids grow up, move out, and live on their own. It may have happened sooner than you expected, but it'll be ok. I'm sure if things were tense before she left, that may mean some unresolved feelings for you - that's all normal too. It's an adjustment, redefining your relationship with your adult child. It takes time to sort it all out sometimes. You still have your daughter - you're just going to have a different type of relationship with her now. I personally think this is a GOOD thing - because it's now your turn again, to live your life for you! I agree with pasajes - try to rediscover some old passions, and find things that you want to do, for YOU. [/QUOTE]
