Hello
Dropped my son off at college yesterday. He's 4 hours away from home and mom's a little sad and nervous (he has Asperger's so he has trouble with change and socializing). Got to be careful that I don't EAT my feelings. Walking, meditating, journaling . . .
also was just appointed to my county's Board of Elections. Hope it keeps me busy
Sending kids off to college can be stressful.
I have been through some "emotional" issues in the past few weeks and found myself heading for the cupboard - I think what the difference is now, is we are aware of it and can stop ourselves. Before it was more subconscious. I DID stop myself when I got to the cupboard going "what the heck am I doing?"....
Congrats on the appointment!

I hope that your son is able to find a good space for him to flourish off at school. One of my friends has a daughter with something similar to Asperger's who is now in her third year at college. She's done so well with making friends that matter to her.
We all get the empty nest thing going on when they leave. I hope you'll spend more time here with all of us. Let us support you. We promise not to pack on the pounds! :)
