Have you read "Strong Fathers, Strong Daughters" by Dr. Meg Meeker? This is exactly what the book teaches with amazing life examples. It was a life changer for me. Unfortunately now I have this rather large obstacle to work around, but I will. Your words are a direct reflection of the book and definitely help to strengthen my resolve.
I always thought I was treating my wife how I wanted the future boyfriends and husbands of my daughters to treat them. Lead by example. Now I have to do it from a distance and reduced time but I will still do it as best I can.
Thank you Sandi.
