It’s never easy watching your child take a path you know will challenge them. It just shows how deeply you love and care for her. The fact that she’s reaching out and saying she misses you means your bond is strong, even through this transition. She’ll learn and grow from this, and so will your relationship. Sending you strength through it 💛

Kids leaving the nest is hard at any age, I can’t imagine how I will be! But what you’ve posted tells me that you’ve raised a brave & independent daughter who wants to find her own path in life & that is thanks to you. You’ve also created a relationship where she feels safe to visit home and share her experience with you, please take a minute to pat yourself on your back! She will find her way, as you did, especially as she has such a caring mother behind her. Sending you a hug during this bittersweet transition 🫶
