Thank you Magic; I appreciate your post. I have been reading everything I can get my hands on. I wish I had done this years ago. Maybe it's a guy thing....like asking for directions while driving.
It was hard for me to come to terms with the idea of "letting go" and my desire to help the woman I want to be with for the rest of my life. I think I finally got it when our daughter told me that she knows I love her and she appreciates that I have let her go to live her life as she sees fit.
I'm working on it and I'll be ok. Thank you again.
