Dear Dr. Dora,
Last weekend, I was home alone for the first time in twenty years. My oldest son started college, and has moved away from home. My husband was on a business trip. My two other kids had plans with friends! I’m so used to a house full of people—I didn’t know what to do with myself.
I felt so sad and empty. Is this what I’m looking forward to in the future, when all my kids leave the home?
A Dedicated Mom
