You seem like a very nice woman and mother and I respect you highly for that. What your feeling is normal and i would suspect it is your woman's intuition and experience that is sending off the alarm bells. The fact is, you are losing her plain and simple, she is 18 and on the virge of life. It is now that she will be making decision for herself from, becoming more independent by the day. Soon she will be off to college and depending on which, moving out into the real world for the first time. its never easy for a mother to let go, but we both know that your time together is going to change. You have been through this before and your just getting ready for the inevitable, its what good mothers do. You are anxious and worried for your daughter as she steps to the next level of her life.

maybe because she's turning 18 as you've said. people grow old as years pass by, not young. you feel like will be deserted because the fact that your daughter will soon have her own life, and that can't be helped. it will happen because it has to. there are things in life which we can't control. it may seem unfair or not right because things don't go with the way we wanted them to be. well, that's life. your daughter, according to you is a responsible kid, then i guess it's time for you to fully trust her. from this point on till she turns old enough to live on her own. maybe in some point, you'll lose her...physically, because maybe she goes to other country, get married or something like that, but wherever she goes she's still your baby. no one takes away that right from you. you feel like someday she'll live you? don't be afraid...just pray to GOD that wherever she goes, may He always guide and protect her. that's just a mother's intuition. and there's nothing wrong about that. it only shows you love your child. be happy for yourself for you have a wonderful daughter and be happy also for your child for who she is now. ^_^

you sound like my mom...
let her know you care without being overly sentimental, that may drive her crazy. tell her how you feel.
DON'T try and turn her into a 10 year old again or call her a ridiculous amount of times or tell her how much of a baby she still is.
remember, for you it may be sad, but she is excited at the new opportunities facing her. let her explore and discover on her own, but let her know you are there just in case.

It's natural to feel that way. Just remember that she will be an adult and to respect that fact. You know the saying... if you love someone set them free.

She is your last child. I have a daughter who will be turning 18 in a couple of months so I know how you feel. She is our only child. I think its the feeling that they don't "need" us anymore. I feel she doesn't need a mommy anymore but she will always need her mom...Look at it this way, you are embarking on a new relationship with your daughter, one of friendship...

you know, it's not a bad thing that your starting to feel like your losing her. she's probably planning on going to college, and this is just the begginning of a tough rollercoaster for you. it's like God's way to get you started, so when she really moves out it doesn't hit you as bad.
i hope this helps...

Your youngest will soon be an adult and fly the coop some day.
