Ditto from me Ginger!! Really glad your dad finally came through for you when he said he would. And it sounds like you have some fun times coming up with your D and with your friend in Florida. That's one thing that I always try to have to help with getting through the day-to-day...something to look forward to. That's key for me.
RE: getting it right with a guy? Try replacing "can't" with "haven't yet". You still have plenty of time!! I just turned 54 this week and I believe that about my situation. You've got more than a decade to go before you get to where I'm at. That's a lot of time remaining to get to where you want to be.
I know it is difficult G but try not to compare your situation to others' and find silver linings in the clouds when you can. Happiness is not about getting to a destination, it's about appreciating and enjoying the journey!!! (((HUGS)))
