I posted something a few weeks ago about being in love with a lovely man who has one major problem: A daughter who has so many psychological problems she can barely function. She is 19, living alone in a house her father pays for, trying to finish high school but dealing with OCD, bipolar disorder and perhaps Asperger's syndrome. Her father is not dealing with it well and her BM has completely checked out. This girl is prone to melting down, screaming and crying and at one point was very violent and has thrown and stabbed both of her parents with knives. She will probably never launch and I think her father is disillusioned about this. He's not realistic and I think I would find this frustrating. I actually think he enables her and is part of the problem.

When I met this guy I wondered how such a handsome, charming man could be available and now I know. I wanted to be honest with him and tell him how I felt about it but  this seems like too big of a problem to even talk through. I also didn't want to make him feel bad about his situation, being hopeless. I told him I didn't see this working out long-term and cited the fact that I want to move back to my home-city as a reason (although I probably have no intention of moving). I'm just feeling very sad and disappointed but I think now was a good time to do this before we grow closer and it gets harder for me to leave. 

I just hope I did the right thing. I've had my own demons to slay. I kind of don't want to live the rest of my life like this. I wish I could be more compassionate for people who struggle but I'm just done. I'm going to look for the happy guy with happy, or no kids!
