Yes, they are within driving distance at least. I don't worry too much about my girls safety (surprisingly.)

Are they within driving distance? I know nothing can compare to when everyone's living under the same roof, but I do look forward to visiting my older son (two-plus hours away), and in between visits (which aren't too often), I try to focus on when the next visit will be. The bigger problem for me is excessive worrying that my sons are safe. It must be comforting that your daughters aren't living alone and have someone to come home to.

Her boyfriend has to stay in that position 2-3 years. She said it's like her going off to college, but I know it's not. My daughters aren't going to return home and live with us again.

I'm sooo sorry it's been such a tough year for you, SadMommy. A year ago at this time your life was so different, and now your world's been turned upside down. How far away will your youngest be living? I wish I could find the words to cheer you up, but, to be honest, ever since my older son left last Saturday (he was here for a week), I've been feeling pretty much like I did in September and crying sometimes too. At least I have two more weeks with my younger son. I hope her boyfriend's position isn't permanent and they eventually move back. I'm also sorry your older daughter didn't have much time to visit. Maybe next year, the two of you can figure out a way to split up their time evenly.

I like those too. I do usually like Christmas music, but this holiday season was the worst for me in a very long time. My youngest gave us two weeks notice that she was moving to another state because her boyfriend's job. She quit her job and is moving in with him. She's already gone and I haven't been able to stop crying. I also barely saw my other daughter because she was so busy with her husband and his family.

I like the 70s and 80s, even some 60s music! I don't listen much anymore, though. I'm still playing Christmas music, believe it or not, but I think today will be the last day.

I love the 80's too! I was just thinking the other day I should start listening to it to see if it will help me get out of this depression.

 We have mice caused by our neighbour so really doing everything we can to rid them to sell up in Spring. Something after empty nest I wouldn’t of imagined but have realised it would be good for us. I’ve discovered listening to the radio basically to create noise but I love it 80s music channel, it’s so jolly, does anyone else love the 80s? For me it was a wonderful time going out dancing x

My kids have been out of the house for about 6 years now and they moved far away, one is now in France with her rather new husband, I'm actually going to be a grandma for the 1st time next June! As my kids moved away, I moved from the northeast to Florida hard to believe about 2 years ago. All of my kids stuff came with me including containers of decorations. I actually was ready to let my kids take some for their new homes, it was bittersweet but especially for my daughter so far away, she gets to bring home with her to her new home. It was so cool and heartwarming to see our decorations in her new home. It's funny kind of because I'll start looking for some pieces, can't find them, and then I look back at the photos of my kids homes and there are the decorations that they grew up with!. I moved into a 55+ neighborhood when I first moved down here but haven't been happy so I'm closing on a brand new townhouse on the 27th and it's in a regular neighborhood so hopefully there will be some kids who will do trick or treating next Halloween! Right now I'm pretty much all packed up so sadly the majority of my Xmas decorations are somewhere packed up too. But I'm going to celebrate Xmas starting on the 27th! I'm single and I'll be in the middle of school vacation so I can do what I want and I don't want to miss celebrating Xmas. I had hoped that I could move in on the 23rd but the builder isn't letting that happen, very sad but I'm just going to enjoy Xmas after. Holidays are an adjustment so I've found that I can just enjoy the day for what it is or I can try and learn to go with the flow and try something new. For me, I'll be busy unpacking many, many boxes to keep my mind busy!

There were so many things that did not happen the way t wanted. Now that the kids are gone, and I am living alone, I finally find peace with myself, forgive myself and accept all things that happen to my life because that is life. That is the only way to help me to live the rest of my life in peace. I have one daughter who is now estranged to me. I feel sad sometimes, cry sometimes, feel lonely sometimes....I pray a lot when I feel down, and try to get out of the house to see people....That helps. And I have 2 dachsies.
