Thank you judy for your kind words...and prayers
Knight...you are a 100 percent correct...we as parents sometimes, enable our
children...sometimes we do to much for them....she does not understand that
they will still be part of my life...she hung up on that I am being stolen
away...but bottom line...I think she has been to dependent on me...Guess
she and her husband will have to learn to fend for themselves with the day to
day stuff...near or far...parents are still there for their kids...hope she will
see that one day..
Pkk....yes they can be a pain in lower extremities...and yes in the long run,
I think you sons would miss you.

I know that either of my daughters would not think twice about moving somewhere if the found someone that the needed to move for. By the same token I expect them to accept that I too have that choice.

Nick I am all for you being happy. It is our turn. this may be your one shot at being the happiest in your life. Don't take a chance at losing it.
The lady in my life told me a story of a man yrs ago who fell in love with a wonderful woman. His 2 daughters didn't like it him having some one special in his life and told him not to see her anymore cause it made them sad. He listened to them and broke it off. That was 20 yrs ago and he is so sad over it. The kids are too and now know they messed up their father life big time. Go for it Nick.

My grandmother was 80 when she remarried and her kids, at lest most of them, threw a fit. She had no money and nothing to inherit, nor did she move away, so do not know what bothered them so much. I was 16 and thought it was the cutest thing I ever saw to see them together. They thought she was acting like a kid. Like that is bad?

Do not give in...once our children are adults (and parents themselves)
...they have to be responsible for their own lives...otherwise they
will never "grow up." JMO JMO
I raised both of my daughters to be self-sufficient. We love each
other and always remain in contact! They always want me to be happy,
as I always wanted for them. It has always been mutual. We are
always supportive of each other no matter what. I guess I got lucky!
Anyway...you know children will grow up and leave home, so you have
to be prepared to accept love and contentment for yourself at some
point, regardless if your children approve or not. If that is being
selfish...then so be it! JMO
Good luck...you know you are doing the right thing!

Question is, what if the shoe were on the other foot? Would she consider your feelings should she be the one moving away? Most kids these days would not. Follow your heart. She'll come around.

Nick and Donna...sounds like both of you are very very fortunate people! I would love to be so happy once again! Sad thing here is that my kids would have no opinion of me moving. I'm not far away from them, love them like crazy, but only occasionally hear from them. Maybe I taught them too well to live their own lives....CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Have a happy forever and ever amen....

It is great that you found happiness! I agree with vixen, if the childern are on their own and not dependent on you then go. Life doesn't stop just because you have children. Once your daughter sees you are truely happy, she will calm down.
While we are on this subject, what is it about father's who won't let go of their daughters? I have let three relationships go, not because of the daughter interferring, but the man just not letting go of the daughter. These daughters were grown, on their own and in one instance even married.

It will be good for the both of you if you move. Distance does not weaken a heart!!! I just said Good bye to my youngest daughter 3 hr. ago as her and my youngest granddaughter are leaving for their home in San Francisco today. Don't know when I will see them again? it well maybe 2 years or so but we will call and talk every week and all is fine, do we miss each other? you bet, But it's nice too that they now have their own lives and is good that us parents have ours!!!

I havae to agree with Blueshort cake on that point. I had a bf in IN that I moved to live with and one daughter never did accept me. I got so sick of her little games to keep me out. Like they had to go out to have dinner on their late mothers bithday. Good grief that was just to get him to go out without me. She finally got her wish and I left.
