How has this thread never been created before? Anyways...
Our youngest (Elise, 15.5 yo and a very talented flautist) is going away on Sunday for her school band trip to Boston. While I have always encouraged independence in her and she IS very independent, spiritually we are very co-dependent. She's very responsible and funny and smart. I want her to have every experience I did not, and am glad she gets to be with friends and have the time of her life.
But I'm starting to feel physically ill and anxious at her leaving. I thought it would be a good idea to go to Mexico while she was gone to keep my mind at ease, but now I think I made the wrong decision in case something goes wrong. Her dad and Nick will both be here in the US, and are more than capable of handling anything that comes up but...
Help me see everything will be okay. I won't see her for 8 days. I have never been away from her that long. How often should I check in with her? I already track the children with an app (which I only check if they're not answering and I need to know where they are).

I hope your daughter had a great time in Boston these last few days and has a safe trip back to Wisconsin.
