Empty Nest

I didn't know I was such a control freak, but I am. And that really bothers me! My kids are young adults now, and I thank God that they are smart, responsible and decent people. I seem to have the most trouble letting go of my daughter. Maybe it's because she is the "baby." I hated it when my mother was overly involved in my life, and yet I am doing the same thing to my daughter. So after quite a few confrontations with her I realize how important it is for me to back off. Stop asking so many questions. Stop trying to be involved in her life. BACK OFF. The other 2 kids?? One is in California, and one is about to get married. Guess this is a good time to analyze why do I have a desperate need to be needed? Maybe it's time to get a dog.
