The Empty Nest Condition is a Game Changer for Parents
Empty nest sneaks up on parents without warning. Empty nest occurs to both parents when the last child living at home moves away to live elsewhere, leaving the home empty of day-to-day activity of raising children. The more the parents actively participated in raising their children the more severe the empty nest syndrome becomes. This sudden loss of daily parenting purpose and activity is frequently disheartening.
Parents routinely dedicate their lives to the many aspects of raising their children for at least 18 years and even longer depending upon the ages of the children. And normally, the departing children are excited and motivated to show independence from their parents, to strike out without daily parental controls or involvement.
Empty Nest Parents Experience Multiple Emotions
Empty nest parents frequently feel loss of purpose, inadequacy, loneliness, grief, and even depression, especially for mothers. But these feelings are not obvious to the parents or to others, so they too often go unrecognized and unresolved.
The Empty Nest syndrome and midlife crises frequently occur in tandem, mostly for the same reasons. Parents had clear reasons, purposes in life to focus on the growth, welfare and safety of raising their children. And this purpose came naturally and is a welcomed reason to live. But when the last child leaves these fully engrossing life purposes and lifestyles suddenly become distorted.
Parents raised their children to go out and live a great life being the best they can be and enjoy life. Yet, after their direct parenting relationships have concluded, empty nest parents will most likely want to continue to advise, support, and love their children to encourage them to grow into valuable loving adults but the former children are now in charge of doing so on their terms.
Empty Nest Parents Arrive at Critical Crossroads of Life.
What new goals, lifestyles, purposes can possibly replace being full-time parents? The time is ripe for parents to become the best they can be and enjoy their new lives on their terms without constant parenting. Most children will welcome and encourage parents to discover new sparks in their lives to generate new lives to the fullest.
Yet too often parents become confused and frustrated at picking through the many options that appear before them. Encountering classic “Option Overload.” Frequently they feel guilty for redirecting their attentions away from their children, and even ashamed, because they feel they should be able to understand it all. After all they are older, more knowledgeable, wiser, more experienced, have raised children to adults and more. What’s wrong here? I mean they took to parenting and did well, why can’t they do the same for their next lives?
Empty nest parents are faced with solving the Greatest Mystery in the World – Themselves. They have very little understanding of what they want, don’t want, are talented in, and their priorities for themselves. Undoubtedly, they know more about the desires, talents, priorities and passions of their children than they know about themselves. The fact is they do not know very much about themselves for a host of reasons, which is proven by their confusions, frustrations from struggling with creating their new lives. This is a very Natural Phenomenon.
