This is the same experiment I did day in and day out most all my life. I started at the age of three until 52. I don't need anyone I could do it myself. I failed miserably! It wasn't till the age of 52 that someone said, "Depend on me. Trust me. I'm here for you. I'm not going anywhere." The new experiment — trusting — was a success! I now know how to be independent. And, it doesn't mean doing it alone.

Good luck to you. I hope you have better luck than I did in those previous years of my life.
