in less than two weeks our boy starts bourding school. he is 11yo, he asked to go and even helped choose the school. As my wife is in the military and we move around every couple of years we decided this would be the best for his education. he is extremely excited to go and talks of all the after school activities he will be able to take part in, a lot of which he misses out on at home as his sis is disabled and we struggle getting him to clubs ect.
I on the other hand am dreading it. I know this is the best thing for him and its something he really wants to do but I cant help but feel a massive sense of loss. I have spent a lot of the last 11years on my own with the children and the boy has been my rock. I dont want to stop him going, I want him to have everything he desires in life and most of all I want him to get a good education. how can I make myself feel better about this and stop the crying ? xx
