So because you could have children and get what? 18 21 years with them is so much better than not being able to have children at all? Thanks I shouldnt be here. I kept trying even when people said horrible things to me. Now No one . Done
Hi Lauren so sorry for your suffering, my daughter has similar problems and it
@DanaMH My nest still has two chicks. I was lucky with my daughter it was a gradual process. College,then University in another city,then a job in another city. We are closer now that those everyday little stressors,laundry-dirty dishes,don't impact our relationship. I truly value our time together.We talk everyday on her commute home. My best now actually feels filled than when she lived here. I am blessed!!
@mutter3
That is great to hear. My older son lived with us when he went to college and he is only 2.5 hours away. However, I am thinking he doesn't drive as fast as I do which is speed limit since he is late coming for dinner at the moment since he is coming down for the weekend.
I have dreamed about having an empty nest, but I don't think it will ever happen in my house. My daughter is now 31, and is just disabled enough that she A) can't get a job and B) isn't interested in a boyfriend. No interest in moving out at all. If your child has flown the coop, you should be glad - you have been an effective parent and launched your child.
