Letting Go

Some people have seen me as somewhat of an expert on "Letting Go." Letting problems go, letting children go, etc. They think this because I've done workshops on the subject. I "know" the answers and I'm able to share Professional Expert's information in a somewhat entertaining way.

But boy, do I struggle.

A few years ago when I was seeing a counselor about a couple of serious issues I asked "At what child's age can you really, really just let them go?"

He said, "Usually I would say about 25 but in your case let's say 42."

I wish. I want to let her go. She gives me lots of indications that she wants me to let her go. But no can do.
