I am a 25 year old with a 8 year old daughter. I am currently in 3rd year University (Political Science) in Canada and hope to get into law school when I am done. I have been chosen to study abroad in England for 5 months, which is where I am right now visiting friends. My daughter is at home, staying with my parents. She had the choice to come but she wanted to stay with her friends/school/sports/etc. She seems quite happy, although I know she misses me.
So here is my predicament...
I know this exchange will do a lot of great things for me. The very least of which is confidence and self-esteem will go up… which is a major thing for me. It will also demonstrate my flexibility, adaptability, motivation, initiative, independence, self-reliance, responsibility… the list goes on...
But I miss home. I'm having a really hard time being apart from my daughter. We've never spent any significant time apart. Should I power thru and get it over with? Or give in and go home?
