Standing in the driveway, I watched my grown children drive off into the distance. I looked down the road until I could no longer see their vehicles.
“They live too far away from me,” I said to myself.[SUP]“[/SUP]When did they break away and become parents of small children? Shouldn't that be me?”
Does " break away" fit in the underlined part? I think they(=her children) break away (from the family) and become parents of small children.
Does "Shouldn't" make sense in the other context?
Thanks!
