She's 12, and so old enough to listen, as she did when I spoke to her a few years ago when I'd decided this was what I was doing.
That was a tough day for sure.
Talking about it can help, but I guess what she wants more than that, is to have me around. But there is not much benefit to either of us, if i'm not happy being there - waiting for the weekend as was the case previously.
I've never been one to get overly excited about things, probably over-managing with low expectations is where you'll find me!
I'll be taking it as it comes, she's a young adult now, and I hope we can talk openly about things - that will help.
Cheers Glen.
