Caring Father with a Heavy Heart

I'm a father of a 19 year old daughter. I love her so much and want the very best for her. It seems the more I let go the heavier my heart gets. I'm trying hard to let go of the things she does that I may not approve of. I feel I need to be more carefree or the anxiety will cause my mental status to worsen.

Is it something that would make her future broken?

@LifeisbeautifulbutGodiswonderful I would say most likely not, but my mindset tells me yes.

@Anxexmil It's truly touching to hear about the deep love you have for your daughter. It's natural to feel a mix of emotions as our children grow up and make their own choices. 


Letting go can be challenging, but it's a sign of your strength and love. Remember, it's okay to care deeply while finding a balance that protects your own mental well-being. Seeking support, whether through friends, family, or a professional, can be really beneficial during this transition. Your journey of adjusting and caring is a testament to your dedication as a father ❤️
