Great to hear that your boy made a complete...or nearly complete...recovery.Yours is obviously a story of exceptional courage,and love,on your part.The big difference in your case,however,is that we're taking about a child.That's an entirely different ballgame,IMO.

But I *do* hear what you're saying about allowing her to "find her own path".Perhaps it would be better for my attitude to be that I wouldn't *insist* on her leaving.But I still would give her permission to do so and,in fact,I'd argue vigorously in favor of her doing so.

Thanks for ‘getting it’. 8^D

Just don’t ‘insist’ so hard she feels you don’t want HER or she’s somehow doing more harm than good. That could push her away rather than allowing her finding her own path.

Hopefully this is an academic discussion only and you never encounter this scenario.

Go well.

Correction of my last post...Just don’t ‘insist’ so hard she feels you don’t want HER or she’s somehow doing more harm than good. That could push her away rather than allowing her finding her own path.

Please insert word...suggest/recommend for insist. LOL

It's all about the words isn't it?
