I think it is very natural for mothers to go through this. I have a daughter and son....I know when I had to send mine to school for the first time I was devistated. Dropping them with a total stranger was the hardest thing for me. I had never even hired a babysitter before. If I had to leave them when they were young it was with my mother. I know it can be very overwhelming but you will pull through it. Mine are 13 and 15 now and how does the time fly....pretty soon I'll be worrying about sending my daughter on her first date

Anyway, good luck...just be strong and try not to let her see it upsets you. You don't want her to be worried about you while she is at school.
