Ok so DS is taking the job 1K miles from here. He will be gone in a month. I've zipped my mouth and told him it is a great career move, because it is. I will be sad to have him so far away. I am ecstatic for him in the career front but sad he won't be so close. I do know that he has set himself on a great financial future. He will be able to rent his townhouse out for several hundred dollars a month than the monthly bills are and his townhouse has increased in market value about 25% since he bought it. He will do well in life. I will miss him.
What are your sads?

IKWTDS, it all works out in the end. I would rather my daughter not become a mother at 23. But she did. And she is one hell of a mother. I never thought she had it in her. He will be awesome, and you will be OK...I know you. I know how strong you are.

I know how hard it is. When both of my kids moved out one overseas and the other one to another state. It is hard,sad and bittersweet because you raised them to be independent and to follow their dreams. You feel proud and sad at the same time. Also a bit excited for them too.
I can sort of understand, my kids are not leaving home yet but in 2 years they will all be out of high school.
I get the bittersweet thing.
But. Life can't get better if it never changes.
