DD 19 started university this year... at first she found it hard, came home a few times. Then she met a boy and now she's gone.
Came home for Christmas, left to meet the boy's parents. Was possibly coming back for New Year, but now implied she's not (although not specifically confirmed)
Now she's using coronavirus restrictions to say she's going to stay there, and go straight on to uni after. I know this is an excuse because she has been ignoring the restrictions previously (not in a typical student way, she's not a big party girl; but she did visit her stepsister, and of course going to the boyfriend's parents)
I know what its like to be in love for the first time, and understand they just want to be together. But am hurt that she is choosing him over us. Originally they were both going to come here for a few days before term starts.
But I haven't said anything, I remember at that age my mother used to want to know everything, and I hated it!. So am trying to give her more freedom. I don't want to appear clingy and needy. She says his parents are 'so lovely' and their house is 'amazing' and the village is 'gorgeous'
Yeah I know I'm just jealous, and should be happy that she's happy. Somebody slap me!
