When children grow up and leave home, mothers most frequently report feeling?

Contrary to popular belief, when children leave their home where they grew up, their mothers usually feel happy.

This is not to be taken negatively though - they are not happy to kick out their children out of the house after so many years. They are happy that their children have grown up, can take care of themselves and perhaps start their own families. Also, they might be happy to finally have some time for themselves, to focus on their own interests which may have been put aside.
