[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 598788, member: 3907"] Sending many hugs your way SFR. Please don't feel guilty that you're dreading the loss of your empty nest. It's perfectly reasonable to relish the peace and tranquility that comes when your house is a difficult child-free zone AND to dread the return of one or more difficult children to your sanctuary. I felt much the same way last summer when my difficult child had to move in for a few months while his living and working situation were sorted out. I was on pins and needles anticipating all of the things that could (would) go wrong, and feeling terribly depressed about it to boot. I'm very glad to hear that you have a detachment plan in place ahead of time. It's so very hard to do, but setting your mind to it before you're in the middle of the conflict makes it easier to follow through in the crunch. :smile: [/QUOTE]
