Hi and welcome to the forum Lynne59!

It is always difficult when your kids leave home. No matter how well you think you are prepared for it it is difficult not to feel redundant. However you do adjust!

Is your daughter going to be living near you? If so you may end up seeing as much of her as you did when she was at uni. Maybe you can meet up on a regular basis just the two of you?

It is also important to try to do some of the things you promised yourself you would do when the kids left home. Joining this forum may just be the beginning. If you join your local supper/ book / walking club you will soon make new friends and start to develop new interests. You will also be able to make plans with your OH without having to worry about what your daughter is doing.

I have two sons - both went off to Uni and now live for elsewhere. I have had to accept that neither of them is ever likely to live at home again - or even in the area. This does not mean we are not close - but we do not see each other as often as we used to.

It takes time to adjust - but believe me that strange empty feeling does go.
