Dear Amy: I’m a 33-year-old woman. My daughter is 11. She and I live with my parents. When I told my parents of my plan to move out, they gave me this story about how sad they would be, and how they feel like I’m abandoning them at their time of need.
I’m usually at work during the day. My mom home-schools my daughter, and I wasn’t planning to change that.How can I help my parents to be more comfortable with this?Dear Mother/Daughter: Your parents have a considerable attachment and emotional stake in you and your daughter.
And just as parents sometimes give their children a gentle nudge out of the nest , you are going to go through a reverse of that process.Offer an affirmation of their feelings: “I know this will be an adjustment for all of us. I’m going to miss you, too.”Offer lots of reassurance: “We’ll still see you almost every day, and I’ll always be there if you need me, just as you’ve always been there for me.
If one is having a serious conversation with her and the dog does something “interesting,” she will literally interrupt the conversation and derail it to talk about the dog.I love this dog, too, but her incessant focus on her pooch makes me not want to be around her or the dog.
