I tried to search the forum for threads about this, but no success.
Daughter and her SO will be freshmen at colleges 4 hours apart. They have decided not to attempt to maintain a long-distance relationship. Thus she is very sad about anything relating to starting at her new school ... even while shopping for dorm furnishings and preparing for orientation ... because it will mean leaving her SO behind. We were hoping she would be looking forward to the new experience (besides not having to live with Mom and Dad!) but this seems to be inhibiting her from engaging.
Any suggestions, experiences, or words of wisdom? No doubt many of you have been touched by this. Thanks in advance.
