HAHA, I don't look 22. I was just looking the mirror reminding myself to get some dye for my grays. I also plucked a gray eyebrow hair today, lol. I do look younger than my age, but I no longer get carded. It was kind of a pain in the butt in my 20's because people thought my ID was a fake!
My dad is actually my best friend and he pretty much raised me. We are very close. In his older age, he just wants to see me settled and happy. He fears me making financial decisions or otherwise that are not good for me. So if I consider something against his advice, I think he just gets scared and worried. I'll always be his little girl and he will always be worried about me. If I could give him anything in this world it would be to give him peace of mind, that me and my daughter (who he adores) are happy, secure and settled. I hate I can't give him that to the full extent. He is, however, very proud of me and does think I have done amazingly with all I've been through. But yeah, I 've got Mommy issues that contributed to my poor relationship issues, lol.
I'm sorry you are stuck too. I've just been cycle from time to time. I'm stuck trying to get to a destination I can be comfortable and secure with.
