I miss my parents so much!?
I had a pretty good childhood. I mean it wasn't too bad...but I haven't talked to my parents in almost like 2 years and I really don't know why. I miss them so much and I feel depressed all the time because I am all alone in a place I have never been. I really feel like I have no friends anymore because I have lost touch with everyone back home, and I am constantly sad. Even when doing things that use to make me happy I can't enjoy anymore because I still feel empty. I have lost everything since I joined the military. Everything. I absolutely love the Navy but I hate being so alone. I have met so many new people but I can never feel like I really know anyone or they really know me. I think If I talked to my parent's I would feel better but it would be so awkward and I don't even know how to contact them anymore. I dunno what to do. I think I need depression meds?
Do you miss your parents at college?
I’ll be moving overseas next semester if I get accepted to the college of my dreams.Plane tickets from here to London cost nearly $1000. My last name might be Rich, but that doesn’t mean we have money to throw around on a whim. My mom’s already told me it would be a lot cheaper for me to just stay in London over the winter holidays than to fly home for a few weeks before flying back.I already miss them, and I haven’t even moved yet.I lived in a dorm for my first semester of college and I only really missed them the day they dropped me off, but that was different—they were only a two hour drive away if I ever wanted to come home.If things go according to plan, I very likely won’t see my family or fiancé for almost a year.That hurts to think about.Thankfully, I have some great friends in Europe who have invited me to stay with them for Christmas and New Year’s, so I won’t be totally alone. But going without hugs from Mom, Dad, and Baby Bro? That’s something I thought I wouldn’t have to deal with for another few years.It came a lot sooner than I expected, and I’m still figuring out how to deal with that.
I love my parents so much I cry?
Basically I've been at uni now for nearly 3 months and I miss my parents a lot, I find myself crying when I think about them. I get to see my dad sometimes because he works not far from my university but sometimes when I talk to my mum on the phone I feel so overwhelmed with love and all this added appreciation for them that I just want to cry. Is this normal?
How can I avoid feeling that I miss my parents?
My darling ,if there was a cure to the love and the insane pain of missing parents ,give me some.I am away from them for 3years abroad,the pain is immense ,it gets unbearable to see their tears on skype,i feel you,if in the world there is a medication to forget love and tenderness ,i want it right now.The answer to your question is no matter how old you are,depending on the closeness with your family the pain of seperation is something you will learn to live with
Why do my parents miss me but i dont miss them while in college?
I get you completely. In my case, I have also realised it is easier for me to love them from afar. Distance makes hearts grow fonder- it is more true for parents than for a partner (personally speaking). So while you enjoy your new found freedom away from their infringing wisdom and presence, they are missing the object of their loving admonishment. They miss being affectionate with you. Briefly speaking, they love you and miss you. You surely love them, but don't miss them. Not yet. You are enjoying the sense of self that you experience, being the centre of your world and soaking in all that you can. It is a time for learning, for building new relationships and, more importantly, a time to understand oneself better. Seeing your parents miss you might make you wonder why you don't feel the same way. If you are someone who feels guilty about it, then I have just one thing to say- don't. As long as they are healthy and can look after themselves, there is nothing to worry about.So while their hearts grow fonder, you continue working on being better. That is something both you and your parents can be proud of.
Should I drop out of college if I miss my parents so bad that it’s making me depressed?
Awh, friend, I’m sorry! That’s awesome you love your parents so much! I don’t think the answer to your question is as cut and dried as a simple “yes” or “no.” College is increasingly overrated. According to the Washington Post, only 27% of people actually hold a job in the field of their major. The average student loan debt at the end of 4 years? Upwards of $30,000 dollars!!I don’t say this to depress you even further, friend, but hopefully to offer you some rational hope that college may not have to be the be all, end all for you. Apart from the bad investment rational, college also offers an unrealistic, oftentimes even toxic “adult life” experience. No true adult lives like a college student . . . It’s a community that isn’t replicated anywhere else in life. you can experience healthier degrees of responsibility by pursuing your own business from home or finding a job near your family. More and more, a good work ethic is desired more than a college degree anyway!I actually waited till I was 20 to start college, till I knew exactly what degree path I not only wanted, but needed, and I have done all my college online from home. This has allowed me to still experience normal life, running my own business and being a part of my family, while at the same time, I am completely debt free! If you are motivated enough, you can even get college done faster! I am not even a year and a half into my college journey, but I already have 80 Credits.You don’t have to follow the pattern this world lays out for you, friend. I fully intend to stay with my parents until I start my own family by marriage. As a Christian, this is a biblical principle (for this reason shall a man leave his father and mother, and be joined to his wife). Even apart from faith, though, it can be a very healthy thing. This of course doesn’t mean you shirk responsibility and stop growing into an independent adult; it just means there are other ways to take on responsibility and grow into adult life apart form the traditional on-campus college experience. And these ways may not be as depressing at the one you are currently pursuing!In any case, can I pray for you? That no matter what path you choose, God will relieve your anxiety and depression and help you transition into this brave new world of adulthood—that is what I will pray for!
I am a married girl and miss my parents. I feel very bad that they miss me terribly, too. How do I cope with this?
I would suggest to stay with your parents for a while and come back when you really longing for their affection- by your in laws / husband. You can get some relaxation. Concentrate in things which you have been enjoying wit your parents when you were there before marriage. Because I too had the same problem, even though I know my in laws and husband 1.5 years before my wedding. It happens, it's very normal for all the married women. And this generation people are really getting sensitive to the new environment. It's hard to accept it. I can purely understand you. Go out with your cousin /brother or sister. Enjoy sobe days with them and come back. After Getting back involve yourself in things which you like because you only have the power of changing your mind. None of them can make you feel like it's your home. You have to have a thought that it's our home. Hence forth it's all ours, after the elders generation. Go ahead. Good luck!!
Just moved into an apartment and I miss my parents...?
I just moved into my own apartment that I am sharing with 3 others girls and I miss being around my parents SO MUCH. I can't stop crying because want to go home so badly. They live about 1.5 hours away and I just moved in so going back home for a visit is unreasonable. I am currently a sophomore in college and spent the whole summer at home with my parents while i was taking summer school. I had this problem at the beginning of my freshman year last year and i lost a ton of weight because i was so upset. eventually i got used to it but i still went home every holiday. I know that i need to grow up and i can't live with my parents forever but it's just so hard for me. My dad won't let me live at home next summer or else i will have to pay rent because he wants me to grow up, and i understand that. i just find it so hard to accept the fact that i won't be living with my parents like a used to. i am so attached to my mom especially :( i need help...
I just got married and moved out, but i miss my parents alot, what can i do to feel better?
Love is an action as much as a feeling. Show your WHOLE family how you feel and you can't go wrong. My daughter got married March 3rd. We are very close and it has been a challenge. She & her husband invited mom & Dad to help them get their new place how THEY want it inside & out! We are having a great time getting to know her new husband even better and feeling useful too. We also have them over for cook outs and to help us rearrange our home. This isn't easy for any of us and learning to give eachother space can be just as important as keeping eachother close. I'm relearning much about my husband as we finally get alone time we haven't had for years!!! Just remember your loved and this is your chance to pass on to your husband all the love and caring your parents taught you. Love is always the answer!
