I was a bit harsh in my assessment of my marriage. To be blindingly honest, it's no better or worse than most. Overall, my spouse has been a good dad to our son Christopher, as well.
I am conpletely amazed at the unity of responses here. Almost without exception, each of you has said, *set him free, push him out of the nest, it's time to stop protecting him, let him find his own way now.*
You all have given me a great gift--your kind support. I re-read your resposes--all of them--most every day.
Each one helps me be a stronger person. I'm not glad that so many of you have had experiences that somehow parallel mine, but it seems what you have gone through, has made you wiser. I am grateful to you for sharing your wisdom with me.
