One recommendation I would have is for YOU to set the date and time. I notice you don't follow through or don't go far enough in your interactions. I noticed this^^ as well. I assume you fear rejection, which stops you from nailing down the time. But notice where you stop yourself and try to push thru that. Otherwise you're doing a ton of mind reading/analysis and assuming negatives, & Not enjoying your life. And not having a good R with your d.
You're in charge of changing that and I"m SO glad she reacted as we all hoped. She loves you Luke. Do you get that? It's a good thing and it's good to savor it. I was a career woman who was shocked/amazed/traumatized/delighted, by motherhood.
Set the time and place and go for it. Don't analyze so much. You have to start learning to run on just your impulse rather than always having a "reason" or a plan.
Do something JUST BECAUSE.
Luke, I'm glad you grasp how odd an email would be to your own d...(imo, ever. B/c when she lives elsewhere, you pick up a phone. The only time I'd email my own children is if I were sending them an article/link or some written info.
But never would I "talk meaningfully " to them by email, let alone while living under the same roof. Just saying, you need to really digest that, okay?
Where are you sleeping these days? Care to discuss?
