[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Any thoughts on how I can just let this go and be happy that my kid is happy?  Thanks.[/quote]

Did you ever watch the show Fantasy Island as a kid?  One of the things I liked about it is that it let you see how things played out if the person got what they think they wanted and often it didn’t turn out better than what they had.  I think of those alternate decision timelines and believe things play out a certain way to bring you to the destiny you are supposed to have.  My parents moved my junior year of high school to a different part of the country far from family and friends. While it truly sucked, I look back now and realize my college was only on the radar and possible financially because of that move,  I met my best friends at that college, I ended up in DC area because of my college friends, I met my spouse through a friend of a friend I made at college who lives in this area.  While it’s possible it all might have worked out if my family stayed where they were, I wouldn’t have the people in my life that I have now and wouldn’t be the person I am now if that decision didn’t happen.[/quote]
