Etoile said:I want to thank everyone profusely for your kind thoughts in PMs and posts. Hearing outside perspectives keeps me from going crazy...and reassures me that I am seeing things as they are, and that it's okay to do this.
My wife has suggested not burning my bridges yet, so for now I am just going to keep quiet and not interact with em much. If Daddy comes to me and says "I miss you, come visit me" then perhaps e is ready to fix what's wrong between us. If not, then the relationship will fade away.
The reason for doing it this way is because I want this to be as amicable as possible. I still love em, I still care about em, I still worry about em. I don't want to lose em as a friend, and I think announcing that it's over would hurt that friendship, and that would hurt me. So I'm just waiting to see what happens.
Part of me wants closure. I want it to be over and done with. But I need to maintain the friendship more than I need the closure, so I will live with it as is for a while, and find my security in knowing that I am free to truly end it at any time.
Best of luck to you. I hope the two of you can be friends. It can be difficult and emotional transition. Positive thoughts your way
