LouR, Come here to vent, chat or share your day. The board is always "open" and will not turn members away just because they are having down days or feeling a bit blue.
Congratulations go to your S18. At least the scholarship will help out w/expenses and it's such an honor to receive one. You babies are leaving the nest and you are leaving everything familiar and dear to you, but I promise you, life is waiting for you w/open arms because there is so much to learn, experience and enjoy out there. It will take some time for you to find your footing, but you'll get there.
As for your children, you have all of the electronic means to communicate w/them, as well as trips to and from and just think, visits w/him will be meaningful and boy, will he miss his mom being near him. He will have a greater appreciation for all you've done for him.
You've had a lot going on the last few months, but once you are settled, you'll be so busy that you won't have time to spend on wondering about your h.
You are going to be just fine. Be kind and patient w/yourself. Again, the board is always open. Someone is here generally 24/7 and no one is turned away.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
