well, for me, sometimes when my husband drives away i feel a little tear in my heart...and i can't wait until i see him again....it's usually the same way with my kids....i'm scared of losing them....getting a little better...but it's a long road.....hang in there!

There is a lot of adjusting to be done. But instead of thinking and worrying, start planning some social ventures - is there some places you can join - like to do with hobbies or something you are interested in. I took up folk music big time when I left home, and was out nearly every night of the week at one point. THEN all changed suddenly and I did not want to do anything but enjoy my own company. Became a bit reclusive for 6 months.

But after all that it got back into balance again.

Different when in a relationship - THAT is when i cannot BEAR to be on my own, with my partner away.
