New college legislation made it so he wants a JD. He plans to still come back and set up his own business but 4 years away he won't want to come back. AND the DEBT I'm trying to be supportive but I want to be like "NO!". I still have a year and couple months with him but this news shocked me. Part of me wants to be like so we're moving to X. Ones he moves he can't move back home. This is all still very early and may not happen but it has really thrown me. I thought I had 3 years left not 1. I'm trying to tell myself this isn't happening tomorrow. It's one thing to have him 15 min away another to be to far for our car to travel. Like I said I've been spinning and researching all day.

Been there many times and it is rough. For ten years after my kids left for university (my son went directly to Italy for a year of univ there, then to Paris for a year of univ) I thought I was going to die from grief. I wish I had some wise words of condolence. All I can say is that you will make it through, have a support system in place, and time really does help...somewhat. It sucks that they grow up.
