DiurnalVampire -> Empty Nest Syndrome (8/21/2007 9:21:04 AM)
|
Start of the school year again, and I am starting to feel it already. Both my boys are students, and as soon as school is in session, I find myself alone alot. I dismissed my Kitten, becaue he was going to school in FL, and I didnt think it fair to keep him attached to me for the year when at best we would see one another a few hours ever 2 months or so. I told him he was free to see whoever he wants, and I hope he meets someone wonderful. If and when he comes back for the summer,we will rethink the arrangements.
Angel started classes yesterday, and his schedule is going to be even more demanding this semester than it was last.Over the entire last semester, I saw him a handful of times because between work and class he had no free time. School is our priority and I wil not come in the way of their educations... but I am already dreading the long months tat I have to bear with this again.
For those of you who have reasons to have to give your boys and girls up for long periods to long distance relationships and whatnot, you already understand what I am going through. To make matters worse, Angel is out of reach, but within reachable distance. He lives less than 15 min away on campus... but I will never see him. It was somehow easier to handle when I was states away and didnt have the option of being together.
Last time we went through this, he and I stressed out so badly about being apart that it nearly ruined everything. I dont want to let that happen again, but I am not really sure how to keep from letting the frusteration get in the way. I can give everyone else advice on this, and often do. But when it comes to me and my own baby... I am at a loss.
**sigh**
