I have been around here thru my 28 year abuse and controlling marriage, end of it, recovering, trying to date... and yes, bumping into someone that is so head over heals over me. I love him and his 3 kiddos. I am having major issues taking care of my mom, she is very ill. I am also dealing with daughter issues, family stuff.. I need to get thru this step first... he wants to marry me.I do not feel ready. I don't know to explain it, smarter than me and I am irritated by his kindness.

My dying mom loves him and now does my daughter. Is it wrong to want space?
