What i got from the book so far is that our roles got mixed up and that i have no real purpose in life. Actually, I wonder how many folks actually have a purpose in life....other than having sex. I need to move away from what went wrong to how I move ahead while reading this book. I guess the fact that I think about the past as I read speaks volumes about where i am at. (things that make you go hummmm). that may be the litmus test (I love saying that) on whether we have detached fully or not. If you read a self help book and all you can do is think back and very little forward than maybe...it is still too fresh. I raised my voice and D8 had tears in her eyes...that is what is big...for me anyway. I could have handled it differently. i could have calmly discussed why she finds it difficult to do little things for her dad when he asks politely...especially since her dad does alot of little things for her. By the way...i don't buy the Neil Young thing....also, if it is addressed to an unknown man, it means that you have given up on the man / men in your life.
