It isnt wrong no. You may have had a strong bond with them, because they were dependants. You did all the things with them, that a Dad does, worry about them...care for them.....and even though they were not your own kids.....if they called you Dad off their own back..then it must have been quite a special relationship..... It takes a hell of a lot of hard work to try and win step children over in some cases.....and i guess its even harder letting them go....
The only thing "wrong" with it is the fact that you're still hurting over it. Sometimes we can't help how we feel...and it's not something you can turn off like a light switch. Best wishes to ya man.
i dont know about right or wrong in matters such as this, hurting just isnt nice and the sooner we can build effective barriers the sooner we can get on with our lives - sometimes we just have to accept stuff as painful experiences and move on - sort of like getting used to the pain but not letting it have control of us and our future. i dont think it is very healthy to dwell on past events, especially hurtful ones, after all, hey, theres a wonderful future for you to have yet - please dont let the past put big dark clouds over that
I sorta agree with the rest of the replies you've had and I really think you need to move on otherwise you could end up spending another 6 years still dwelling on it and maybe miss out on having a relationship with a really nice person.
I would bet they still think about you sometimes too. but life moves on and thats what you need to do. It can be hard at times but you can do it.
Take a look at what you have not what you want and sometimes it will surprise you. To me you sound an good hearted honest man so its her loss and someone else's gain. My motto is life is to be enjoyed not endured. Take care and i wish you lots of irish luck and love.......
Getting Bounced by Women is Normal, becoming a Father Figure is a Natural need, keeping it all for 6 years???
You may hold on to it for life, or get on with your Alturnative Energy Projects..
