my son has left home, and I am feeling sad. I Know it had to happen sooner or later.?

Question

I don't like it.  I am fine most of the time.  then he comes round and of course I am delighted to see him, but when he starts to tell me that he is happier than he has been for a long time, I find it difficult not to cry in front of him.  He is living with his girlfriend and her mother and suddenly I am surplus to his needs.

I want my baby back, and I know I can't have him.  

Someone say something nice to me!!!!

He left to go "home" about five minutes ago.

I'll answer as someone who is in your son's situation.
I also left home a year ago to live and study away from home.
It seemed hard for me and my mother at first, but after a while it got better. Trust me, in time you will start to feel better since you'll have more free time. Also your son needs independence, and a lot of families are living the way you and your son do anyway.
You'll get used to it in time, don't worry

Awww....Empty nest syndrome anyone? It's hard, but if he is happy as he says he is, I would be more than happy for him. He is not a baby anymore but I know, he loves you very much and he'll be always "mommy's boy".

You may be surplus to his needs right now but you will always be his mom. He still needs you, he just isn't admitting to it right now. Patience.
