Empty nest syndrome kicking in with a vengeance. Thought it was OK as we had survived university but once they start working it feels more real. DH taken early retirement/redundancy and I am left wondering if this is it. Is this how it is going to be from now on. And what is this. We are having to rewrite our relationship and goals. And DH isn't all that keen. It has hit him hard. Trying to be patient, after 29 years of marriage I'm not going to throw the towel in but it does seem a little bleak. I feel like a walking cliche. And I hate feeling sorry for myself. You bring up your children to be independent and take whatever opportunities come their way..and then they do.
