25, if you want, I can still answer your questions. I have to run out now. Thanks for the thought-provoking comments and questions and insights..


I just want to say, I did realize that that "enormous pressure" I had mentioned in a previous post was really about the pressure to open up, to let this person in, that I didn't want to "eff" up my daughter anymore - telling my family - more or less it was "enormous pressure" to have it go right.

But I realize I can only control me. And we're not telling D right now, nor are we sleeping together, and I can take it slow and just trust myself....

But a week ago, I was feeling ENORMOUS PRESSURE - I was in a panic.
