There comes a time in everybody's life where you just have to let something or someone go and let them follow their own path. It may be hard and a little painful, but you know in the long run, it's the right thing to do. All you can do is wish them the best and hope everything works out for them. You've contributed all the knowledge and guidance you can and to stick around now would only impede their progress. The only thing you can do is step out of the way and out of their lives. In the end, you have to worry about number one... youself.
Some may call that being selfish, but I don't agree. What's wrong with wanting to be the best you can be? Sure, being concerned about other people's well being and helping them be a better person is all very admirable, but you can't let it take presidence over bettering yourself and NO ONE, not even your loved ones should be number one other than yourself. Well, with the exception of your kids maybe (needy selfish bastards!)
I've done all I can, my work is done now, time to move on.
Still... it feels like I'm losing a kid.

Another uplifting and ominously vague post by good old Vinnie. I won't even bother to ask who you're talking about since I don't give a damn, but I will tell you that you mispelled "YOURself".
