[QUOTE="DDD, post: 70168, member: 35"] The strain, I think, is multi-faceted. There is the discomfort that comes from past experiences combined with the fear of a recurrence. There are two other factors that I think are also of import. One is that your child is now company. When company comes things are not "normal"...and when company leaves there is sometimes a bit of sadness but there is always a sense of relief. The other factor is more important. "Your" child (the one you raised and lived daily with you) is no longer the same. They are changing into a different person and you don't really know that person. You're not even sure who that person is going to be and you honestly don't know if you will even like them. We have adult PCs we love. Some of our adult PCs we wouldn't dream of spending more than a week with..lol. They might feel the same. Every human evolves from their life experiences and no two experience the same life. Enjoy what you can but don't feel guilty about the rest. It's hard but it's life. Hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
