Antlers, your post really opened my eyes, and forced me to take a good long look at myself. All these years I have based my happiness on others. Once I looked at myself, and my sitch, I realized that I had to detach, for my own well-being. The hard part, is acknowledging, that right now, I am already D. I think another very important part in this, is to not so much re-invent myself, but to find myself, and become a better father/man/husband, in that order. I think once we are able to "find" that balance, we are happier. I am coming to find out that this is a long and bumpy road, this detachment.
