Post wedding blues

Yes, I remember the transition from being No 1 woman to surviving pretty much nowhere at all. Difficult but decidedly self indulgent and the upside is I was so happy to see him moving into adult life so successfully. Fact is every day I wish I could see a bit more of him but he is in a very busy modern life. Mmmmmmm. Love him to bits.

Looking forward to my 70th birthday the day before my Son's wedding and gd's christening the day after and his 40th birthday the next day - determined not to have a meltdown afterwards. Lucky to have a very supportive family after losing my husband - told them to just shove my wedding hat on my head and point me in the right direction.

I agree that it will pass, keep in touch, occasional phone call or text NB not too often! Have you any daughters or is he your one and only? If so that is hard - was he in contact when he lived with his partner because I doubt that will change. I have one son and 3 daughters. I do hear more often from the girls - I think it just the way things are. Even in these modern days the man founds his family - it’s biological too. Girls bear children and often instinctively keep the bond close! Now someone will pop up and tell me of a daughter they don’t hear from!! Try and keep positive Millie - all these emotions are part of being a mum! (flowers)

It's the separation thing I think. Your son has a wife now and you have been superseded and the excitement of the wedding has gone. This too will pass, be happy for them and move on with your life.

Seriously?

Yes, yes and yes!
Never mind, it does pass.

Weddings are very emotional! I am sure many of us will understand your feelings.
