[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 378379, member: 4264"] No need to be sorry. Missing her is natural and I can totally understand you feeling how you do. I too can't imagine that if my difficult child does move on his own next year, how I'll stop myself from calling him every day. I promised both my kids I wouldn't be that pesty mother when they are on their own. I know i'll sit on my dialing fingers if I have to, in order to not smother them and to allow them to live their own lives. But I'm the same as you, wondering how on earth to only hear from them say once a week etc. I'm sure it will get easier once you two find a balance that works for you both with how often you are in touch. Some kids want to hear from their parents more often, some don't. Has your daughter said how often she is okay with you calling? Can't hurt to ask her what amount would make her feel connected and thought of and loved versus smothered or stalked by her mama bear lol. Might turn out that she wants more than once a week contact.
