Anonymous. You must have had a very close relationship with your children. I don't think I'll react quite as badly, though. At least, I hope not :)

I cried buckets when my last one moved out and that was 4 years ago and I still am not used to it.

Margaret. Sometimes I think I'd go potty if it weren't for my online friends being around at the strangest times.

I've thought about the possibility of her coming back (my older daughter did for a year) but if that's the case, she'll have to have the little room because me and Paul are trading up :)

Any new challenge can be a bit scary Sharon but you are one hell of a resourseful lady and you will do great. And remember we are all out here, (some of us at the strangest early hours,LOL ) so you won't ever be lonely. Margaret

ps: this is from experience - they sometimes want to come back, LOL.

Oh I know I'll find things to occupy myself with, Carol - that's never been a problem and I'm not worrying about living alone per se, it's more about how I'll cope (physically). Thankfully Sam does a lot to help out and I'm hoping the Occupational Therapist will have solutions to some of the problems but it's still a bit scary. Exciting too, though.

You will do fine, a lot better than I think you think you will at the moment. Even pain in the arse me won't be coming home at weekends on a regular basis anymore, but when I do come it will be to yours. (I will be at mine this weekend with Sue by the way)I bet you find loads to occupy yourself with and then you will wonder how you ever got the time to chat. I will be put off with excuses about

I'm not sure about the 'cling to' bit, CH, as I don't feel I'm doing that at all. On the whole, I feel pretty positive about her moving because I know the time's right for both of us. It's just going to be different... a new situation to get used to for both of us. I agree that there a lots of women in the same situation though being as it was still normal practise to move straight from parents

The last to leave the nest is always the one you cling to, (so they tell me). I think there is alot of women out there in a similar situation. Straight from mum and dads to your new marriage and then single with kids till they grow up. I am not looking forward to my time when the kids grow up. I am more than positive I will remain single.
