I wish you would both write an article about this transition - the good, the bad and the lessons learned. I think it would help an awful lot of folks.
It has been a stormy topic in my therapy lately. He calls it "unbearable" and that is exactly it. The idea that this person whom I love and who has helped me so much just becomes unavailable to me in any way is unfathomable. It makes me crazy to think about it. He asked me if I thought it was a bad idea that he "let me" get so connected to him -- I think we used the word dependent once or twice but it is not exactly that -- and I countered that he didn't exactly "let me" - it happened despite my best efforts to resist it. I want to be angry with him but where would that get me right now?
So I really appreciate all the sharing you've done about this part of the journey. It is helpful to know that the rules can be bent some.
