It’s important for empty nesters to have creative outlets and healthy places to channel their energy
There’s no doubt that it can be strange to visit the house you grew up in and no longer feel like it’s your home. You spent years baking cookies in that kitchen, sneaking out of your bedroom window after Mom and Dad fell asleep and giggling with friends in the basement during sleepovers. But now, there’s nowhere for you to sleep, and your parents’ hobbies have invaded any space that was previously yours.
This might be jarring at first, but it’s important to consider what your parents are going through as well. Empty nest syndrome can hit moms and dads harder than they expect. And according to Dr. Rachel Glik, they might begin to feel sad, lonely and even depressed after their kids move out.
It’s not uncommon for parents to feel meaningless or like they lack purpose when they become empty nesters, which can lead to anxiety and a loss of control. Relationship issues might even arise, as the couple might be coping differently. Or they simply might not be used to spending so much one-on-one time together.
