Empty nest syndrome is a general feeling of loneliness that parents/other guardian relatives may feel when one or more of their children leave home. While more common in women, it can happen to both sexes.

 

Well guess what, I have empty nest syndrome! I am actually shocked that I do have this syndrome, I have always been the type of parent that loves their kids dearly, but also knew that my main job was to raise my kids so they would be ready for the big bad world out there. 

Well that’s what I thought, that is till my third child was ready to leave the house, and then panic set in. Here I am a mom since I was 19 with no kids to look after, what am I going to do now?   I know, I can find myself, I can meditate, I can get artistic and find my inner beauty… Aww never mind I will just get a pup!
