At the end of the conversation with my colleague, I declared with a smile, “I’m not lonely! If I feel lonely, it will cause my daughter to worry in a bad way, so I’m going to continue to live happily! I’ll pray for the happiness of my daughter’s family.”
My daughter still sends me pictures of her grandchildren, and our relationship continues with the same distance as before we started living together. I think it’s a difficult problem for parents to deal with their adult children. There is no right answer, and it depends on what you want to do yourself.
I have always told my daughter, “Take care of yourself.” That will not change in the future. I hope that this separation will help my daughter and her husband to face each other properly, and I would like to continue living happily on my own!
