Do you have a teen who is afraid to stay alone?

My kids were always fine being home alone but I have a little different problem now that they are older. How old is old enough to be left home alone for a week? Both of my sons moved out now and our dd will be 19 when we want to go on a cruise next year. She says she will be fine home alone for 10 days and I am freaking out a little bit about it. If one of my sons were there with her I would be fine but her alone...worries me. It's not like she can get intouch with me - we will be in the middle of the ocean lol! My dh says she will be fine and I need to cut the cord but still!!! I would feel different if she were a boy - isn't that ridiculous?
She will be fine, I’d have no problem leaving a 19 year old daughter home alone.

She's an adult. She will be fine. At that age she could be living alone in her own house/ apartment. Many women her age do. I was in an apartment by myself at just turned 20. I technically had a roommate, but she basically lived with her boyfriend so most of the time it was just me.

I know this in my head but I always worry about her safety. Thanks for your replies!
