I hear the mind getting carried away thing loud and clear. I do that to my self all of the time. It can be maddening. It is almost like self torture. Yeah, I am not saying be blind to what is going on, if it presents itself. But the speculating, the creating of all of these scenarios in my mind, its not worth it. What it really boils down to anyhow, I have zero control over what she does anyhow. I do however have control as to how I react. So the balance is how to be prepared for any eventuallity, without torturing my own mind with all the things I cannot control.

subject change.........

I just looked in on my daughter who is sleeping in the other room. I really feel bad that she has to go through all of this [censored]. I need to be the best father.....best man I can be for that child.

take care dude.
