Adjusting

It's a bit sad to know 2 of my 3 son's have left home. I used to see them pretty much every day. Now I need to adjust seeing them much less. When they are young you find it exciting to think about them moving out and starting their own lives outside the nest. Although when that day comes it is mixed with a sweet and sad feeling. It is more difficult for me than I expected. I miss them being home, but at the same time I enjoy my alone times at home. It's an adjustment time in my life. I can involve myself in different activities. I no longer have to rush my boys off to a hockey game, or do as many loads of laundry, meals need to be prepared smaller, less picking up, more quiet times, so many changes. I sometimes find myself now regretting missed opportunities.

 And now to learn how to balance my relationship with my adult children. How much do I get involved with their lives? How much support do they still need from me?
