The article reflects on a mother's emotional struggle with letting go of her college-bound daughter. Having been a hands-on parent, she feels a deep bond with her daughter, even keeping tabs on her academic life by contacting professors. Her protective nature is heightened due to her daughter's gender and her own past as a single parent. While she recognizes her daughter's need for independence, the transition is bittersweet, marked by anxiety over her well-being in a new environment.
As a concerned mother, I find myself reaching out to my daughter's professors to ensure she's adjusting well to college life and doing okay in class.
Letting go of my daughter's daily life has been a challenge, especially after I've had so much involvement and care throughout her upbringing.
