Yes Todd, 26 has been on his own for years and Samara, 20, is a Jr. in College, but I am appreciative of being invited into their lives yes via text,calls, lunches, dinners and vacations. It's a wonderful experience to have your adult children choose to spend quality time with you. Guess we did something right here. I think having a private psychotherapy practice, doing Talk TV and radio has kept me filled in my career. Starting a blog on coaching Moms of teen daughters will be fulfilling as well. Having a wonderful engaging husband keeps me on my toes as well. It's a great time in one's life to see your children pressing forward with faith and confidence in their own lives as well.

I felt it was a significant achievement that I had sent both my children off to school - happy in their new life - which made me happy. It is a wonderful time in your life - and should be embraced as a new phase and personal growth.- I think the feelings leading up to my last child going off to college were so intense – and then – when it happened – I was so happy for her – and felt so good about myself – so that I really enjoyed my free life.
