I used to work at a University, in the Student Health Center, and spoke with many parents who had their oldest son or daughter going away to college for the first time. My oldest is only 3 years old, so I can only semi-relate to the fear and anxiety you are going through (although I am in the process of "letting go" and have him attend preschool soon...agh! how will they know how to take care of him?!).
Is your son or daughter going far away to college? Do you have specific fears, or want to talk about it any further? There are lots of women at EmpowHer who have gone through the same thing, and we're more than happy to talk about it! (If you'd like, you can even start a new ASK thread, so other women can chime in and know what the topic is about by reading the subject/ASK).
