last year , when my kids were both at school , i would get lonely at home sometimes . i can understand that . it 's usually either parents are happy they are out of the house , or sad that they 're gone . i 'm sorry you feel lonely . most of the time i 'm happy and content but occasionally i get lonely . i can understand that . kids have a big presence and their energy creates a void . hopefully you can find things to take your mind off of it . it 's weird how they can drive you crazy when they are with you but you miss them the minute they are gone ! yes it is . my youngest has been away all this week for his first summer camp . it 's been both awesome and lonely . they finally go back to school next week and i 'm looking forward to it but i know i 'll get lonely at times .
