I have lived home for 29 years and I can honestly say I have been tearing up lately about leaving my mom. My father past away when I was young so I stayed home to be with her. She said the other night when we went out to dinner how happy she is for me, but when she wakes up in the morning she has a pit in her stomach b/c her baby is leaving- I cry just repeating it! We have a mother/daughter house with my sister so she will not be alone, but I am still said.

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
awwwwwww that is so sweet. Your a good daughter but she will be fine! Its your time to spread your wings and im sure she understands that, she did it once. It is sad but also exciting because its your brand new begining. You get to make the life you have always dreamed of, not one that you were born into

Hi! 09 crasher here, I feel the same exact way! I'm glad to know that there are other people that feel this way. I was starting to think there was something wrong with me. I tear up every single time I think about leaving my parents.

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
don't worry love... I had a hard time leaving too. FH and I moved in together and have been in our place for 1 year. It was tough for my parents too I think but it makes it so nice to make plans and hang out and everything... it will be OK you will adjust and LOVE having your own home with your hubby

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
FMIL is not taking FH moving out well at all. I had gone away to college then lived on my own for a few years so me being out of the house is okay for her. My dad on the other hand refuses to understand this. He insists on calling their house home #1 and my house is home #2 Like I will go home one day Anyway, FMIL isn't taking it well and our house is only 2 miles away. We're in the same town! But like you FH lived with his mom for 31 years so I can imagine it's difficult. I know you'll make the time to go over and see her. I tell FH to call his mom just so she has peace of mind. That's really all you can do at this point. Your mom will be okay.

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
Well I am alittle bit older (36) but left home when I was 28. I remember it & remember it well. It was extremely hard for me. I was Daddy's girl! My parents divorced and I stayed with my Dad. I think about him often. (now deceased 5yrs)
the Majority of my family is out of state now...I am the only one with a house. It's soooo weird because I can't just pop in to mom or Dad. Enjoy that time if you can still do it. Don't take it for granted!!

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
All I did was cry the last month in the house and when I got back from our HM I went by their house and all we did was cry...the whole fam! It was like that for a couple of weeks. The crying has subsided, but the bittersweet sadness is still here and probably will never leave.

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
I've been out of my moms house for about 3 years now...when i lived with my mom i paid rent to stay with her...so that made me feel a little more independent because i was a contributor...then she moved to VA when i was 22 and i had 2 choices...move to VA with her and end my 5 yr at the time relationship...or do what i could to get an apartment. I got my own apartment and was excited to do so. I love my mom and miss my shopping buddy...but I needed to have my own place and live my own life with privacy.

I left home a long time ago but I remember how hard it was -- I didn't want to give up my childhood bedroom.

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
I feel the same way... I'm am going to get home sick or better know as 'mom sick'. I can't bare the thought of not coming home to her, snacking on junk food and watching General Hospital at night.

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
I lived at home until last month when we got married. I am so homesick and I love being back to visit (nearly every weekend to date). I'm very close with my mom and sister so it's hard to not see them all the time. I completely understand what you're saying.

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
You're not alone! It was very hard leaving my parent's house. My mother and I are very very very close so it was very hard the 1st couple of nights. But we live about 15 mins away so I get to see my parents all the time!

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
Sometimes I feel that way too because my little sis just left for college for the first time, I'm leaving in Jan. and my other sis plans to leave in June making my parents go from 3 to 0 kids at home in less than a year.

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
I struggled with this for a while before I actually moved....I was so excited about moving in with DH, but so sad about leaving my family....we are pretty tight and it was just such an end of an era so to speak for me.....I adjusted quickly and never thought that would be the ase, so I hope you too are pleasantly surprised....good luck

Re: Anyone else sad about leaving home?
I moved into our home with FH in September and the day I left was terrible!! My parents cried, I cried, then my FH felt bad and got teary!!
I'm not going to lie the first couple of weeks were hard and I was homesick. Change is always tough but it's a good change. Everybody gets used to it and you'll be loving being on your own with your hubby in no time!!
