Initially, I resisted and tried to talk her out of moving in with her dad. I then thought about a daughter's special attachment to her father and realized that she had her own reasons for wanting this time with him.
But I used this transition as an opportunity to find myself. My empty nest left me feeling lonely... I kept thinking: Is this it? Is this all there is to life?
As I thought more about my needs and wants for the first time in years, I realized I faced a similar opportunity as my daughter. I, too, had the chance to individuate and figure out who I was separate from being a mom.
