With the deepening of social aging, there are more and more empty nesters, which has become a social problem that cannot be ignored. When their children leave home for work, study, marriage and other reasons, the symptoms of psychological disorders of middle-aged and elderly couples living alone in empty nests are called family empty nest syndrome.
Family empty nest syndrome often shows negative symptoms, emotional instability, thinking that they are sorry for their children and have not fully fulfilled their responsibilities as parents. In addition, there will be a tendency to blame children, feeling that children are unfilial to their parents, only care about their own interests, and leave their parents alone in the empty nest.

Old people should enrich their new life contents in time and find new substitute roles as soon as possible. For example, cultivate hobbies, establish new interpersonal relationships, adjust lifestyles, and participate in various social activities and public welfare labor. Women should strengthen their spiritual support for the elderly, and children should have the habit of taking care of their parents emotionally and intellectually. Even if you leave the nest, you should increase contact and communication with your parents to avoid the occurrence of empty nest syndrome in your parents' family. Children who live in the same town as their parents should not be too far away from their parents' homes.
For children living in different places, apart from entrusting people to take care of their parents, I am afraid they should pay more attention to their parents' spiritual support. Children should understand that empty nesters are prone to bad emotions, and often communicate their feelings and thoughts with their parents by telephone.
