Feeling sorry for myself

Tonight I feel shitty and especially dis-connected from my family.

The girls have gone on with their lives. I try not to interfere, make comments or pass judgement. (I made the the mistake of letting my parents run too much of my life, which I now regret.) Let them make their own decisions. Live their own lives. Don't make them feel guilty or obligate. Virtually no command performances. I'm here if you need me but I won't pry or horn in.

Perhaps I've taken that dis connect too far. Not only have they become independent, it seems more like distant. They have moved on, without me. Something happened tonight to drive that home. An innocent conversation really. But, now it hurts.

Self inflicted. I let it happen. Unfortunately, I don't think it can be reversed at this point. Quite sad.
