Oh boy, I feel you there. It has been a train wreck of emotions over here. I married on 10/1/22, and moved in with my husband in April 23'. Up until then my parents (who I love dearly) have unintentionally guilted me for moving out. I have been with them for 28 years, and after my younger sister moved out, they held onto me for dear life. To be honest, all of the answers listed are great, but you have to take time to reflect on the good. Reflect on the progress and hurdles you have overcome that led you to where you are now. Remember your parents were in the game with you and on the sidelines cheering you on. Whether you heard them or not. 💜
Your parents, I'm sure, are your biggest fans. And thinking of leaving them more than likely makes your heart feel shattered. Things are going to be so different, good and...not so good. But the best thing about having your parents is no matter what they will always be there for you, and will always want to know about the good, the bad and the ugly. It's okay to ugly cry, just dont sit in the sadness all day. It's hard to stop once you start, I know. 😔 Definitely plan those shopping and dinner dates! I know this may sound really strange, but when I am around my parents, I really listen to how much their voices have changed. What words they use now, now that the internet has influenced them. Hehe. I like to really take time to listen to everything they say and appreciate the life they created for themselves and appreciate the one they made for my siblings and myself. At the end of day, no matter where life takes you, you always have people and and place to call home.

I hope this helps- clearly you are not alone with feeling sad. And it's nice to know that there are such compassionate people who love their families and miss them like me. For the ones who don't have that connection, either by your choice or theirs, you are loved and you are strong. For the ones who are dealing with heartache and depression and grieving this new change...it WILL get better, it DOES take time and im PROUD of you. 💜

View Quoted Comment Hi! I’m also 22 and j just got married in July! My husband and I moved from California to a state that’s pretty far from where we both grew up. I definitely miss my parents. I cried the first few nights I moved into my new home and on my way here. Lots of tears and sadness. And I still feel sad about about not being around any family, but overall I’m happy that I’m married and have a house with my husband. I try to text or call my parents almost everyday and it’s definitely helped. I personally think it’s normal to grieve the lost of your childhood and moving away. It’s just a part of life and leaving a cleaving. Parents also mourn once they’re empty nesters, but children aren’t meant to stay with parents forever. That’s helped me a bit but it’s still difficult and I think it’ll always make me a little sad. Hope this helps 💖

View Quoted Comment It’s been 3 years since my husband and I got married. I remember when I posted this, I was so sad and it’s totally normal. My relationship with my parents is great. My husband and I bought a home that’s a mid way point between bought of our families. We see them both all of the time. My relationship with my parents has gotten stronger since I got married.


I also have a very close relationship with my mother in law and have gotten used to my husbands huge family. We try to all do holidays together and hang out together which makes it easier.
I have to say it’s sad in the beginning leaving your home and comfort zone but you end up gaining so much more. I will everyone all of the best ❤️

View Quoted Comment I’m having a hard time accepting that my fiance is extremely close to his mother and adult sister, they do everything together and honestly I feel jealous. I’m worried that he will keep on spending time with them after we move out and it will be more special than being with me. Any advice on how to handle these feelings?
