My son hasen't even left yet for college. He leaves in 1 month, but we are getting things together for it now.
I am divorced and I also have a daughter who is grown, but lives nearby, she has been out of the house for 4 years now, and since then, it's just been me and my son.
After he leaves, It will be the first time in my entire life that I have ever lived alone, which is a very strange concept to me.
I am very close to both of my kids, and I feel so lost not being their "protector" anymore. I visit my daughter quite a bit, but I won't see my son until the holidays. I am very proud of him, but I feel selfish in the sense that I am now the one that's lost. I also feel stupid in the sense that I am so depressed now, even before he leaves. I can't imagine what I will be feeling when he is actually gone.
Am I being too sensitive?
