Feeling mix of emotions all at once after dropping off your child to college?
I am a parent myself of two beautiful humans! I am absolutely proud and excited for their growth! As parents, we knew that these little birdies will flock away one day! We did everything to teach them about life and how to live it...when no one taught us how to prepare ourselves for such a seperation and big transition in our lives.
Some say, you will get used to them not being around and finally live for what you always wanted to do. They love the extra time, independence and the house stays clean. But today, the Empty Nester Syndrome is REAL for sure! Atleast for me after dropping off my younger one to college yesterday....my eyes are welled up with tears💦..missing my babies, the chaos and their voices!
After some research, I found out feeling this way is very natural and you are not at all alone.You could possibly be feeling any of these emotions... feeling lost, anxious, depressed, unsure, excited, proud, etc.
Have you been feeling it or have felt it?
