Leaving family to go back to uni

I’m now in my second semester at uni, about 2 and a half hours drive/train away from my home. But every time I leave my family, particularly my mum, I cry. I don’t know how to stop this from happening! Does anyone else have this problem? I hope I’m not the only one!

Doesn't matter if you're the only one. It's what you do and that's alright. Lots of people have different relationships with their parents and there's no right and wrong. Perhaps once you get into second year you'll feel a bit more confortable saying goodbye: you're still very new to this. Is it that you don't particularly enjoy university at the moment?

I love uni! I love my course and my friends that I have there. I think I just have this strong relationship with my parents and I have the comfort of being around them. I cry at first but as soon as they’re gone I’m fine, it’s just the saying goodbye that hurts
