I knew the kids would be going off to Uni. I absolutely dreaded it. I mean crying and all sorts!!
Well, DS left last year. DD is going in a few months. Meantime, she has a job nearer to her Dad's work, so she's been staying there a lot.
And. I Am Ok.
WTF?
I have noticed things. The washing basket is always empty. The fridge is always full. There is bread in the bread tin. There is milk! The house is always tidy.
I have thrown myself in to exercise classes and swimming. I am losing weight. I am looking good.
DH and I are having noisy sex.
But.... I feel guilty, because I am not crying! I am preferring to see the positives!
Perhaps this is a self preservation thing? How do other people cope?
Is it wrong that I am choosing to see this as a good thing?
I am 46. DH is 43.
Thanks for reading.

To actually be OK with the kids leaving home (shouldn't I be in bits?)
