Hello. My youngest daughter just had her first child 3 weeks ago. I am currently here visiting and helping with the new baby. When she first told me she was pregnant (and was considering terminating) I think I made the mistake of telling her I would be around to help her. Her husband is in the military (long term) and is gone 6 months out of the year. There is no way short of divorcing my husband of 30 years, that I can be around to help her. We have discussed me living with them and I really thought I wanted to. Now that it is looming closer I don't know what to do. My husband will be devastated but, I, on the other hand will feel FREE albiet somewhat like I am intruding on her marriage and life. I tried to be a good Mom and I think I did ok...both my daughters have college degrees and have lived independently for several years now. Am I being selfish wanting to leave my marriage or am just having some kind of late life crisis? I am 60 years old. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
