My youngest daughter, who is 28, has been living with me for the past 3 years. We get along splendidly and it's been a joy having her here. But from the beginning I told her, "I don't want you to get stuck here." My greatest fear was that I would experience some catastrophic illness and she would feel obligated to take care of me.

So now she's moving out this weekend. I am thrilled for her and, to be honest, a bit scared for me. I would NEVER guilt her for doing this. I want what's best for her, which is NOT living with her mother.

But I may be a tad extra needy for a while. Could use some virtual hugs and words of support.

Oh Erica, it's always so hard to let them go, isn't it. You know that your daughter is doing the best thing for her. Try to do something nice for yourself this weekend, something that you can look forward to. (((Erica)))

Sending you a big virtual hug Erica. You should be proud even though it hurts. Good parents put their children ahead of themselves. You are a good mama

It’s wonderful that you have such a great relationship with your daughter. You are a good mom, putting her first. Sending lots of love your way!❤️

I reckon you'll be fine, just don't reach for the crutch that isn't a crutch. I'm glad you have such a good relationship with your daughter. Although you will doubtless miss her there will be a couple of upsides to living alone.
