Does it get easier? My oldest, 28, who never left home even for college, has moved 1500 miles away on Mon. I’m really struggling with it. We’re close, and I always thought he was such a homebody type, large circle of friends, that he’d never do this. But he met a girl online and transferred with a better opportunity with his company, and he’s gone. I feel like a part of me is gone too.

Can you sustain a good relationship over distance?

Let yourself grieve for the loss of the role you once played in your children’s life. Then look forward to the new role you will have with him. Everything will be alright.
