In every parents life this has to happen. My daughter is gone. Her bedroom is cleaned out. She moved out a year ago but left everything at the house. Friday she and her boyfriend, who is about to deploy to Afganistan, rented a duplex for her while he is gone. Yesterday I moved her clothes, bed, dresser, tv and such. All that is left is a dusty spot on the floor. Oh I guess she will stop over to see us from time to time but it will never be the same. \:\( She wants to be independent and her freedom and told her mom she would not be happy moving back home.. The only satisfaction is she will need me before I need her...lol. \:D She feels safer in her new place and is more like hers now. It is out in the country, I have an old friend that lives right across the street and one within 2 miles so old dad will know how she is.

It will be tough for myself one of these days. At this point I feel like my little girl is growing up too fast and she's only 15 months old. I could only dream of how this must feel. I do have to say this it's better to have a daughter that is motivated to move out on her own them mooch off mom and dad for ever and ever. So keep your head up it could be worse.

\:\( It's hard when they leave. We raise them to be independent and go out on their own but our hearts break when they actually do it. I'll be thinking about you and your wife.

it's tough when they leave. My daughter moved out 2 years ago to the college dorm. She didn't care too much for the dorm life and moved in with her cousin, my niece, to help with their infant daughter, and for the freedom that doesn't come with living with dad. \:D Last month there was a bad flood in Bell Co Ky and my niece's home was heavily damaged. My daughter moved in with us while they had to do intensive repair to the home. She wasn't happy here. It was no longer "her home." Last week the repairs were completed and they moved back in, my daughter wasted no time moving back. It hurts. \:\(

as it was said, she will need you before you need her, but with experience having 3 of my own and 2 step daughters move our, they move out but they never leave if you know what I mean.
They seem to keep coming back wanting something.
