Empty Nest

[DIANE W]

Hello

I am so sorry about your poor husband, i am sure things will start to pick up soon, it must be awful for you both, but try to keep positive.

I too have a daughter, she moved out a few years ago, and my husband and i were truely devastated when she left, she wanted to be independant etc. She decided to come home after a few weeks, as she realised financially the cost involved, and that she wouldnt be able to live as she had done, with going out with friends and holidays etc.

I was so happy for her to come home, to be honest i was so surprised at being so upset when she left, i didnt see that coming at all... On reflection i think deep down i knew it would be a struggle for her, and she will probably have enough struggles in her life later on - why have unnecessary ones?

She is at college now training to be a teacher, once she has a good job I will be happy for her to move out and be more independant - I think!!!!!!!!
