I am sad

That's part of our role being a parent my friend.Our children has their own future to nurture. What parents should do is to support with concerns. I mean, it would be our role to advice and look the safety of the place our children will go just like your daughter who was going somewhere. In your case I think it is normal for you to get worried especially that your daughter is still too young to be apart from you. But, create a positive attitude in your mind. Be optimistic, think beautiful things that would be happen if your daughter get successful in her ambitions and goals in her life away from you. Have a constant communication with her to fill up your longings with each other. Prayer is the best tool to get what we wanted in our lives. Do our right to do that sister.

Now, mom. Don't freak out! I bet you have taught her well and she will do okay. It is normal for you to be saddened. Sort of a 'empty nest syndrome' thing. You love her and it would be weird if you didn't feel saddened by her leaving. You are being a normal parent. I think even to the being alittle worried. It's her first time away. Don't think that you won't ever see her again. She will miss you too. Sounds like you have a good relationship and you should be proud of her and happy for her.

I can understand your sadness, but you know that it´s the course of life. Just hope that she´ll be happy and start saving to go visiy. Children will not ask much for our visit while they are having fun, but will always need us. Be prepared to go and help. She loves you dearly, but she must make her life as you also did.

As the daughter who left home because of my husband's job, I can tell you that it was just as hard for her. She is excited now, but you will see in a couple of days maybe a weeks she will call and tell you she misses you more than she ever thought she would. I am the baby of the family so I think it was harder for my mom when I left. Every time she sees me and then I have to leave she cries for hours after I have left. I miss her so much, but the move was good for us, we have a better relationship now then we had when I lived in the same town. Just remind her you are only a phone call away and that if she ever needs to come home you will be there. It meant more to me that my mom cried every time I left, it made me feel very loved. Trust me she will come home and visit, I only lasted 6 months before I made up an excuse to come home and visit.

I feel your feelings .. we feel sad when children go away and this is normal .. My daughter is also in another province I does not see it, but each period

Hello jahernandezrivas I am sorry to read of the saddness you are feeling now that your daughter has moved away. This is normal to feel. Parents miss their children and it is normal to be sad when they move away. You will see her again. While where she lives has changed, and some aspects of your relationship will change, the bond that you have will continue to grow. You will be okay and so will your daughter. You will feel better.

I understand you but she is not gone, she's only leave you to have a life of her own. It is normal for us mother to be in your situation. Just think that whenever she was going now and whatever she has to do with her life still your being part of it because you teach her to be a better person. Just always pray for her safe and try to take off your worries.

It is always sad when our children make the choice to move away from us, because they have been with us for the whole of their lives so far and we don't think about what would happen if they chose to move to the other side of the country. It is normal to be sad, but you will almost certainly get used to the style of relationship that you have to have with her now, and you will learn to appreciate each other's company all the more now that you don't get the chance to see her every day like you might have been able to in the past.

It is but natural to feel the way you do and crying is the best way to express your sadness. You will have to however be prepared that your daughter will change what with the new life that is awaiting her.

That's a very sad thing that happened to you as a mother. I asked my mom once if what would be the saddest thing that would ever make her cry, she said when her children will be starting to live her own. And at that moment, she did cry! I know it's normal for parents especially moms who happened to be the one who raised the kid to feel sad and worry for their child's sake. That's a part of being a mother.

You're just being a good parent and yeah, you shouldn't thought of that will happen to your daughter. Just wish her luck and think positive.

Yes, you should not be thinking like that. Any child will always go back to her roots. No one else can compare the love and affection of a true parent.

I don't know if it is accepted in your culture but being with a boyfriend is totally discouraged in our country but nevertheless our children have a mind of their own, we can't control them. They feel that they can stand on their own upon reaching a certain age. It hurts to be away from them because as parents we wanted to see to it that their lives are walking a straight path. You crying is a normal reaction towards a daughter. Just let her be and just assure her that you are just around when she needed you. This is also a learning process for her and be more mature in facing life.

Shes in her twenties, dont you think its good for her to move out and start her life as an adult? its perfectly normal for you to be upset. Any parent with a kid moving out for the first time must feel like their loosing them when really no matter where she is you still have each other in your hearts. And im sure shell come visit you or youll take on the phone ect.

Hi ja hernandez rivas: I think it's normal to feel this way. You are a mother and as a good mother you care about the future of your daughter and it's difficult to accept that people grow up. Even with that, you will always be her mother and as long as it's the best for her things are going to be good. I hope the best for you and your daughter. ALVARO

I hate goodbyes too... anyway that is part of life..it's just sad at start but you will eventually used to it ..

Don`t forget that your daughter loves you as much as you love her, and she misses you as well at the moment even if a new page opens for her life. That`s why she is texting you at every stop! So, she won`t forget you and of course you will see her again! And now there are so many ways to communicate through the internet, so you`ll be able to talk to her soon, to see her new apartment! Don`t worry, everything will be fine, to worry about such things is super normal!

Dear jaheurnandezrivas, I think seeing you crying so sadly your daughter would feel even sad. Although she gets married, she is still your very dear daughter, and that will never be changed. When you are free, you could go there to see her, and live with her for several days.

Hi jahernandezrivas, I feel sad for you too. It is just normal for a parent to cry and worry like you do. My father also cries everytime me and my sister leave them to work in a different country. We are the only two daughters he have. He never wanted us to go but we told him it was our decission, and he respected it. But we had to promise to him to take care of ourselves and each other (me and my sis) and to stay in touch. You can't really avoid to think that way and be scared, for sure your daughter is feeling the same way too. Just like you parents, we as your children also feel different when we are parted but don't worry, both of you will get use to it in time. It will help your daughter to mature too. Just think positive and pray. God Bless You.

Acting like that is normal for a parent like you..I know how hard to be away to someone we really treasure.You should keep in mind that she just move away to start a new life and to learn new things on her own.Don't think any negative things..I believe your daughter will never forget you, you been a good parent to her.Crying is just a part of showing our emotions so ther's nothing wron with that.Just hold on and always ask God for the guidance of your daughter...
