Thank you for sharing your experience and insight. One of the things that I did to contribute to our issues was never have enough independence.
This is not okay for me as a person. I am someone whose father died young. This means my mom lost her soul mate at 40. One year older than I am now. I have no excuse not to be an independent woman. This is a phenomenal opportunity for me to develop independence, I truly do see that. It is just a long road, but I am traveling it.
I am learning, slowly, to accept how long this will take. I am also learning to accpet that I cannot help him find his way or his answers. My head gets it and has gotten it for a long time, it has been my heart that has the hard time keeping up.
I am trying very hard to keep my mind centered in the present moment.
I come here to seek comfort from those of you further down the path and you are all generously giving this to me.
