As far as your 21 year old son, he will be just fine.....hopefully.
We had the "empty nest" when our children turned 17 and went "away" to live at their universities for four years.........then moved to the big city, then back to the universities for further degrees..........so to me, 21, is a good age to leave him to explore on his own. We were 20 when we left home/married...etc.
Our son was 22 when he graduated college and moved across the country on his own to live out west.......our daughter, ditto, moved to Maine and then Boston at age 22...............they all supported themselves. He will be just fine. I agree with your husband.
We moms would like to keep them close FOREVER, but it's the healthiest thing for THEM to give them wings............
Now, you enjoy your new lifestyle.........and do not worry.

I agree. It is hard to leave THEM. Senior is right. Our generation launched earlier and it was probably better for us to do so. He will be fine. It is YOUR turn.
Welcome to the nicest place I have ever lived.
