[QUOTE="gottaloveem, post: 65611, member: 1953"] MLA, I know your mommy heart is broken and you miss her. However, she is starting to spread her wings and make those steps toward adulthood. Thankfully you have a child capable of doing that. Although I don't have any experience when my own child left, I can tell you about when I moved out of my parents home. I moved out when I was 19 years old. Once I got my own place, I was working and hanging out with my friends. I didn't see my parents that much. I loved my parents with all my heart, it was just my turn to be independent and learn about life on my own. Four years later, I got married. I bonded with my new hubby. I talked to my parents a couple of times a week, but didn't really hang out with them on a regular basis. Then our firstborn Alex came. After that, we were at my moms and dads every Sunday for brunch till both our kids were older and started sleeping in on Sundays. Now I talk to my parents a couple of times a week. We see them a couple of times a month. My hubby does talk to his mom everyday. So try not to take it personally, she loves you, she is doing what we all hope our kids can be someday, independent. Also, I agree with Marguerite, don't give her any guilt when she does call, that will make her not want to call. [/QUOTE]
