How does a prent feel when he/she has to cope with different situations in life . e.g when the child leaves home for further to far off lands or when he/she has to be posted to another place away from home on her/his own, getting a transfer or getting married & settling away from home? How does a parent cope with such situations? It has always been true that children go away from home in search of jobs/education & marriage but it is traumatic for parents to live without their children and vice versa!!! do you think it is easy to adjust or is it a mental block that stalls the change . how should one cope with such situations of seperations from loved ones? do leave your comments/opinions

I think the pain is more when you are in the process of letting go of your children.Once it happens there is no turning back.Everyone in this world has to fend for oneself.The faster one learns that the better.I know its very hard to stay away from your parents and I have been doing this for almost 1.5 years now.I know what must be going through my mom's heart but sometimes in life everyone has to make some choices.No child can live forever in the shadows of their parents.Every parent should give their children the oppurtunity to be self sufficient, to be self dependent, to be able to face problems in life.Living life in a coccon will never help.Its very hard for the first few months but after that everything just starts to fall in place.

its is really a difficult task..but parents have to cop up with that for their child.Its not possible that a son or a daughter will be there with parents always because they have to make their carrer and mostly it is possible after being away to parents like studieng in different colleges ,doing job to other places for earning money and in case of daughter its a confirm thing that she will be away from you after getting married..so parents must adopt to these situations...and as i am a son i kno my parents always wish me to be present in home but they kno that it is not possible so they adopt themselves for me only...
