My DS moved out two weeks ago to go to Uni. He's an only child. He's having a great time, has great accommodation, is making new friends, loving his Uni course etc. so I have a lot to be thankful and relieved about (and I am!). But oh my goodness I am missing him so much! My DH seems to be coping just fine and I am outwardly holding it together but inside I am bereft! I miss my boy so much! We have always been very close and would always talk a lot about all sorts of things and I miss our conversations, I miss his company and just knowing how his day has been etc. We are exchanging texts etc but I am really trying hard not to be a 'bunny boiler' and be texting him all the time - I know I must let him breathe and enjoy his new freedom - but it's killing me!!! Will it get easier? I feel like I have lost my way - and I know it's pathetic! Anyone have any words of comfort or advice?:(
