Thank you. Your post makes a lot of sense and is giving me a different perspective on my situation.

This strikes a chord with me, as after looking inwards after BD2, I may have been a "father figure" during most of our relationship, with good intentions, of course. I would say I've perhaps overly influenced a lot of her decisions in life, and even though they may have resulted in better outcomes, I've recently come to the realization that there is value in her making her own mistakes and learning from them hopefully -- probably moreso now with her in an MLC.
