I was just wondering...do you know how rare it is for a childhood home to remain in the family when we are adults? My children are in their early 20's and their childhood home is on the market. H's childhood home was sold many years ago. My childhood home was sold recently, and I was glad to be rid of the burden of it.

I am not trying to belittle the pain you feel, honest. I get that you can't go back there, and it is painful for you. But you have a home with your child, and that is huge. Is there some way you can replace the longing for yours with the caring for your child's?

(I know how much you adore your daughter and wife. That has come across loud and clear in your posts)
