Our daughter has left home to head out on her own into the wider world—the point of all this Stoic parent stuff. She's prepared, but it’s still a tough thing to process.
We hope we have also taught them the value of living by virtue as well as social oikeiosis. I worry about how independent/autonomous oriented we have all become, with its lonely insistence on personal success. Maybe this next generation can look up and find truth in linking arms to turn the environmental crisis around above all. Moral courage and moral intuition!
Thanks for sharing your experiences. It must be an incredibly difficult situation for any parent to face. I wish you well in adapting, and for your daughter to have good well-being and plenty of prosperity along the way.
