Empty Nest Syndrome

What is Empty Nest Syndrome?

The Empty Nest Syndrome stems from a patter of parental behavior that has been ingrained for up to twenty years. Parents are whipsawed between the blue sky of work and the bottomless pit of adolescent needs. Two-income heads of household juggle the roles of breadwinner and soccer mom or dad. Then, the Chinese fire drill of parenting suddenly stops.

Empty Nest Syndrome is a shock reaction. It is the disruption of the architecture of your life, your identity and your connection to someone you love. Having no meaningful alternative course of action many, many parents refocus their energy on their work and hobbies awaiting grandparenting, which is nowhere in site.
