Is anyone else just not coping with their child going to university?

DS has gone to university. Im missing him so much. I didn’t think it would affect me this much.

Im a single mum. I have other children still at home.

I cry in bed most nights. I feel like I did when his father left me.

Please don’t judge me, please don’t call me hysterical. I speak to him on FaceTime maybe twice a week, I don’t want to be overbearing.

This weekend I’m putting up the tree. He usually builds it for me then I do the decorations with the other kids. He said you’ll have to build the tree by yourself this year. I got off the phone and blubbed like a baby.

When will this get easier?

Oh bless you. I worry I'll be like that when my eldest goes, in 4 years. He's (mostly) adorable and really quite funny.
You've done a good job. He's confident enough to go to uni and lovely enough that you miss him . It'll soon be Xmas.
