My son is leaving for USMC boot camp in 10 days. This is a good move for him. However, his upcoming leaving has brought on drama and emotion at our house because he's an only child and his mother is having a hard time cutting the apron strings and letting him go.

This upcoming change has caused me to have to be careful that I don't sink into emotional eating as I've done at other times in my life when I've had transitions big and small.

Anyway, I'm happy to find an emotional eating group so that I can read what others do to avoid the emotional eating and hopefully we can support each other.
