Moms Talk Q&A: College Separation Anxiety

As Benicia High and Liberty High graduation draws closer, college-bound seniors are getting excited as the scholarships and college acceptance letters come in.

Parents however, may be getting antsy. As they go through the process of paying tuition, making living arrangements for their kids and buying dorm furniture, reality is setting in- the kid is leaving home.

It's an exciting, scary and bittersweet time for teens and parents, especially for students who are attending school far away from Benicia. Some parents may already be making plans to turn their son or daughter's room into an office or home gym while others are leaving their child's room untouched.

Most parents are dreading the day when their kid actually leaves for college. Teens will likely find it difficult to say good-bye as they set off to begin life on their own.
