Empty Nest
One day – your children will leave home for their own life experiences. How exciting. No matter what the future holds this is a moment of celebration. But often some dread can creep in. The nest is empty. Your roles as parents is no longer the same. And so begins a new chapter. One where you rediscover each other and adapt to your new situation. This may seem strange in long term relationships, surely if people have been together this long there is no change or work needed within the relationship?
It is so important to see your relationship as this story. Every story has chapters, changes and pages to turn. You can write your story, and ensure those chapters transition smoothly between one another if you can accept that as individuals you change and adapt to situations and environments. These changes are physical, emotional and environmental. Tackling them together and ensuring you approach with open minds and honest discussion can help reduce conflict.
