Mind Binge
Wildflower Car
Lately my mind has been spinning, I have found myself obsessively thinking
about college. My oldest daughter is starting college in the fall. I have so
much trepidation about it!
I know that her desire to go to college is based on curiosity. She said she
is willing to play the game to get in in order to go. It is really bothering
me, I don't want her to go and I want her to try some online classes first.
She wants to go for a social aspect and has politely shrugged off online
classes.
I would really like to hear what other have done in the situation, either
for your self or your child.
I know my run away thoughts are getting too much of my time, but they are
just stuck there!
Much Love,
Wildflower

I can relate. My daughter (16) just started her first college class at the community college.
At first I was concerned of the age and maturity, of whom she would be meeting. Then I realized that my first born child has grown up and is a mature young lady who has been making mature decisions for awhile. She is ready for this step.
It's hard to let them go and grow up, but try and trust her as she has trusted you all these years. My daughter thinks about moving to Berlin. Oh, how I will miss her when she goes.
I have tried to focus my energy in learning more about Berlin and helping her prepare instead of just hugging her tight and telling her I'm keeping her with me forever.
I don't know if this helps you at all, just thought I'd let you know you're not alone.

I don't know the age of your daughter so I am assuming she is a normal
college age. If so, I don't see anything wrong with going to college.
You have unschooled her so she can become the person she wants to be.
If the person she wants to be is someone with a college degree, then
more power to her. She may also go for a year or two and decide it's
not going to get her where she wants to go. But it's her path to
explore and the fact she wants to do it even though you are not
encouraging it says a lot about her and the great job you did raising
her. She clearly has her own mind.
