What are the differences in moving out?

Question

I am 18 years old and I am moving out to go to college in another state(I'm moving out this Sunday). I live with my mom and she has no husband and no other children, we are really close, best friends practically, and she is more like my sister. But anyways, what is it going to be like for me and for her? I've never experienced this kind of thing, but I was just wondering what the differences are in this situation (me living in a dorm and her on her own in another state) because it's going to be so different with us apart. And what can I tell her to make her feel better when she is feeling sad and says she misses me and when I feel sad? Because it's going to be super hard! :/ Help!!! Thanks for answering!!!

Also separate question- What is it like living on your own or living with a roomate or two?

Answer 1

I can be sure but my mom and I are close and I moved away, not as far but about 2 hours away.  You are sad at first.  You will talk a lot to eachother on the phone but if you are living with people you will be out and about having a great time.  Dont let your mom sitting at home ruin your experience.  This is college, its supposed to be something out of this world.  Your mom has went out and explored and if not gone to college she has had her share of fun so please dont worry about her.

As for living with roommates.  It completely depends what kind of personality you have and whether or not you get along with them.

GOOD LUCK HUN AND HAVE FUN!!

Answer 2

Question 1

It will be hard in the beginning if you two have been so close.  However, this is your time to grow up, become an adult and learn to do things for yourself.  Likewise, it is your mother's turn to be free of any child responsibility and get out and figure out exactly who she is and do what the heck she wants to do without having to worry about children watching, begging, wanting etc . . .

Question 2

Fun if you get the right roomies.

  

Answer 3

Hi

I think it is really tough for yuor mom, one hand she very much wants you to be with her by her side, on the other she wants you to grow and be independent.  I think when the time comes which is now, you got to go on your own but do pay her visits call her and meet up with her often trust me, she will really appreciate that and she will every mionutes waiting for your call and meet up, this is a parent heart

Once you in other college you meet with other friends and even BF but just beaer in mind there is a mom far back waiting to hear from you or meet you

If you stay alone you got all your privacy you do whatever you want you turn on music and watch tv wnen ever and which ver you want

If you stay with room mates there is a BUDDY to look after each otherh but COMPROMISE is key thing you need to SHARE and BEAR the differences

Take care

Answer 4

I was/am very close with my mom and I moved out to another state when I went to college. I hated living so far away and couldn't deal with it at first. It didn't help that my roommate was an anorexic psycho, but I think the distance brought us closer because we missed each other so much. We talked on the phone a lot and I visited her every chance i got.
