The thing about being a parent is, it is always kinda hard to accept that your babies have grown up, at least for me. My daughter is twelve, but in my mind, she is still 4. I have to really work not to treat her like she is 4, because that is often the image of her I have. Maybe because it was such a magical time for us together. Not sure. I ama pretty sure your dad thinks of you as much younger than your actual age. It happens to parents.

I would think being in your own flat would be good for your mental helalth.
