Thought I would give this thread a bump. DD leaves one month from today.
Is anyone else going through a whole slew of different emotions? I am so happy for her and can't wait to have her start on this new part of her life. On the other hand, I am so sad and I feel like a part of my life is coming to an end. That sounds so dramatic! I promise that on the surface I appear fine, but this is going to be very hard for me. I hope she absolutely loves this new journey, but I am nervous, anxious, and worried at the same time. A big part of me wishes I could have just left her at orientation last week so I can just get this process started. Instead, it is just looming over me. I know I will be fine once she is settled, but since I know it is inevitable, I almost want it to get here sooner rather than later. So am I the only one in some weird emotional vortex at the moment?
Thank you for describing my feeling perfectly. DS has not been an easy kid
to have around much of the time, more so than your average teen. OTOH, he ended
up receiving a complete full ride to the University he is going to, including
room, board, and books- so we are incredibly proud of him for that accomplishment.

I can tell he is busting at the seams to be on his own. I know it will be such a growing time for him.
Yes, emotions are all over the place with this one. One minute I'm wishing he was gone already, the next I'm wishing for another year. This next month is going to be soooo long. He's only going 20 minutes away so I really have no
reason to be boo hooing.
Best of luck to everyone trying to get through this next month!
