Demcsák Zsuzsa adjusts to children leaving home
Summary and headline written by AI from the source article. How we work
Demcsák Zsuzsa, a television host in Hungary, is navigating a new phase of life as both of her children have moved abroad to study.
This change has disrupted her long-standing daily routines centered around motherhood, which she describes as difficult to adjust to. She is filling her time with work, including hosting, communication training, and consulting, to cope with the resulting emptiness.
Demcsák prepared for her children’s departure by mentally planning how to reshape her life, but acknowledges that she could not anticipate the emotional impact. Previously, she routinely cooked for her family twice a day, a practice she has since abandoned. Despite the challenge, Demcsák and her children are working to maintain a connection and plan to meet in person roughly once a month.
She emphasized that she always aimed to raise independent children, understanding they would eventually forge their own paths, but that did not make letting them go easy.
