So I have three daughters. The oldest is 23 and I have 19 yo twins. My oldest moved out when she was 18 w/ her bf. Last August she moved back in because of break up. One of my twins went away for college last August and the other twin is still home going to college. So last month my oldest moved back out, and now my only daughter at home is moving out in July. I’m crying like a baby over this. I’m having panic and obsessing about how lonely I will be. I know kids go on to live their lives. I get it but my logical reasoning and my feelings are not on the same page. I’m also single and have never remarried. Why is this making me so unhinged? Has anyone else felt this way? What helped? How can I feel better?

I have no words of wisdom because I haven’t overcome it myself. I raised them to live full, happy lives, and they are. I wouldn’t want it any other way. But my heart still aches with the memories of the family we were and the time we spent together that I took for granted. If I could do it all over again, I’d take it much slower and be 100% present in every moment.
