Eldest ds, 18 is off to university at the other end of the country. He is really excited and I think I have done a reasonable job of hiding my own anxieties from him but I am going to miss him so much. Due to the distance it is unlikely that we will see him until Christmas, although a weekend home is not impossible.
I know we need to let go but how often do you think it is reasonable to contact him? My heart wants to text him everyday just to know he's alright and call atleast once a week. Is that overbearing or OK when they are living away for the first time?
