the father is very involved in his daughter's life and we remain friends.  counseling helps you move on emotionally.

Answer 3

The usual great healer is time.  With time, we gain confidence, as we make our own decisions and they work out ok.  As freedom of being the only one in control of our own lives slowly changes from fear of the future to anticipation of a challenge.  We begin to realise we are much better off with the choice to be with anyone and where ever at any time of our choosing.  Having no one to answer to but ourselves can and is a great way to learn who we really are and what we reallly want.  Good luck, give it six months and you will notice a change in you begin to take shape.
