I’ve put my thread in SNChat - because I want
it to vanish to protect DC privacy - but cross linking it below - because thought people on this board would have extra insight (& I know SNChat doesn’t show on main feed by default)

thanks in advance for any advice and support

Do you touch base regularly? What about messages, texts, etc? Some people are more self-contained than others. With previous MH issues, I'd make sure there's some sort of regular contact, just to make sure things are going okay. Then again, there's also a bit of letting go with older children who have left home. You don't know everything, only what they share with you, and that's probably right really. Make sure she knows you're always there if she needs you and ask more directly if you're worried. Do you also make the trip to visit her regularly?

@dogsarethebestalways - thanks.

posted longer answer on the other thread, because I’m a bit paranoid about oversharing being archived forever.
