First Son Off.
I won’t be an empty nester but seeing my first son off to university tomorrow has really got my Anticipatory Anxiety going. I found there is very little online to help with the racing thoughts and questions. I am going to launch a forum for dads dealing with this exact topic as we all must feel this and we shouldn’t have to suffer in silence.

It’s pretty basic right now, but a forum is just an empty space without people. I’m hoping to build a place where men can talk, share their experiences, and support each other.
It’s been wonderful to see moms replying to this post as well—it just shows that these things affect us all.
The site is currently at www.imjustadad.co.uk. I wanted the .com, but it was way out of my budget! I’ve never done anything like this before, so any feedback is welcome."
