Sad when daughter goes? That’s personal (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

own

'personal' is the definition.
(eg one's own possessions are personal possessions)

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for own that I've seen before include "Acknowledge" , "Private" , "Be in legal possession of (3)" , "Keep" , "Have in one's possession" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
