[quote=Anonymous]OP, if you feel like you can't talk to her about it because it will make you too vulnerable, or she will use it against you, then you have identified something important about that relationship. Eight years old is old enough for you to write letters to him, send a card, send a gift. I had aunts who sent me something (letter, book, etc) two or three times a year, and I considered them special people in my life. We sometimes went years between seeing each other. I don't get the sense that you are really clear on what you want from this friendship with the other adult -- the descriptions are either too vague or too specific to be generalizable -- and I doubt you can explain it to yourself, let alone to her. But you don't have to explain. You can just acknowledge that it's not the right fit for you, stay in touch with your godchild, and pull back from the friendship.[/quote]
