This is my first time on the forum, but hope you may be able to help with some advice. My only child (daughter of 25) has recently moved out following her marriage. She left home when she went to uni but came home every weekend, to see boyfriend and part-time job. But this time it is different, on returning home the day after her wonderul wedding I was completely devasted when I went into her bedroom, it was completely empty, their was not a trace of her. (They had been moving her stuff during the week over to their new house). Suddenly it felt as though she had never exisited. Our job is done, she is a beautiful, happy succesful young woman, we have great realtionship and she has a wonderul husband all most parents ever wish for. But I feel utterly lost not having her around, I miss our little girlie chats when she came in at night and her annoying little mannerisms. Ironically my husband and I were beginning to look forward to the day she moved out as we were begining to feel al little taken for granted, but now I would give anything to have her back and fill the house with her presence. This over-whelming feeling has completely taken me by surpise as I have never really been a particularly emtional person, but I am really struggling so any advice you may have would be much appreciated, as I am sure there are many of you out there who have been through this experience.(PS I have a wonderul husband who is being very supportive but other mums feedback would be gratefull y received.
