<p>Scansmom, thats some really interesting stuff. Thanks.</p>
<p>Skylark. The fact that your daughter knew your husband was gone and then inquired if you were lonely is an awesome bit of info for you. She is aware of your feelings. To be at school and in a sorority are indications she is also comfortable and well liked. </p>
<p>Maybe she will meet a young man that is much like herself and they will just always be content doing things and having fun. She may be less emotional than most people but she sounds like it is working for her at this point. She may be blissfully unaware of many of the deeper emotions that swirl around in others.</p>
<p>I have one kid that does not pick up on many social cues. I have always been very direct and vocal in how others behaviors affect me when he is around. Its the best I can do and all I have. I hope it helps him at least be aware of how some behaviors make others feel. If I don’t hear from a friend for a month I feel bad. If I don’t keep in touch with a friend and they become distant, well, maybe, its partly my fault.</p>
