Smurf. Your D must be totatlly stressed out if her hair is falling out. Has this happened since her trip to visit her mother?


Never thought of tying it an event, but yes it could have been, or the 3 week visit from my parents, that is enough to stress anyone out. I have even heard her shout and moan at her friends like she does to me. So I have learned not to take it personally.

Letting go has been the hardest part for me ... It feels like I am turning my back on them...



Yes it is and does, after all those years of caring and taking responsibilty for them, it does feel feel like that. With regards your husband, you have to, you have no choice.

Gotta do it though. I'll let him come to me. Seems like everytime I go to him we fall out


Offspring, it is very different letting go. Wanting to guide them down the right path, teach them right from wrong etc.

The way I try and deal with it, is to think that they are of the age, that they would be thinking of leaving the nest anyway. Whether it is University/College. Trying to go it alone or with a partner. (OK a little earlier than we would like and not our choice), but they will be back!
