Hi. Never thought I'd join a parenting group when my children were 18! I have twin boys and have bought them up on my own since before they turned two. Three days again I dropped one of my boys at university for the first time and said goodbye. I am incredibly proud. He is confident, independent and bright. But oh my god, I literally feel bereft. I can't stop crying. Don't get me wrong, he will be fine. I'm dead proud of the job I have done in bringing him up. I also know I'm so lucky I still have has wonderful brother at home. But I miss him dreadfully. Like my whole purpose in life was to bring up my children. I work full time but what terrifies me is - what do I do when they've both gone. What do I do? My purpose in life will be gone. Please tell me this is a temporary feeling and it will pass. I feel so very down at the moment. Advice please x

Hi, do you have anything you were passionate about before you had kids that you mow have the time to get back into? Or anything you would like to try however 'out there' - canoeing, theatre, am dram, triathlon, learn an instrument or language .... The possibilities are endless really Smile
Also you might want to search for the thread 'empty nest' I can't link from my phone. I think this bit of the site is for people that are students and parents.
