20 year old daughter

[confusedandsad1]

NC for this

My daughter has just started properly dating - madly deeply and all that

It feels like a part of me is grieving for what she and I used to have - a really close loving relationship

Is this normal (the sadness and grief) or am I mad?

Of course I want her to be happy but there seems to be a hole in my life now which makes me feel profoundly unhappy

I'm a single parent and have focussed on my daughter for 20 years!

Any words of wisdom for me?

confused Im sorry you’re feeling low, I think that’s quite normal.

Take comfort that he’s a great guy, and treating your DD right
