Well I've got a best friend who lives halfway aross the country for nearly the entire year. Her parents are divorced; her dad lives near me, but she lives with her mom, hundreds of miles away. She only comes to visit 3 times a year: Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Summer. I only get to see her once during Christmas and Thanksgiving, and maybe 3 or 4 times during the Summer because her dad is insanely protective, and hardly ever lets her go out.
And it's hard. To only communicate via blogs, e-mail and AIM. And every time I'm with her I feel both insanely happy and slightly depressed at the same time because I know I won't see her again for a long time. And everytime she goes away, I go into a slight depression.
This year it's already gotten so bad that my mom's noticed my different behavior and won't stop nagging me about it. And that makes me feel worse. Because I don't mean to snap at everyone, and in any other circumstance I would tell my mom what's bothering me, but in this case, I just can't bring it up, because it inevidably leads to tears.
So, what I'm asking is how do I make these good-bye's easier? Is there a way to cope with this without locking myself in my room and secluding myself?
If you could PM me to talk about it, or just comment here, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Sorry for the bothering.
