Progress You are Making and Hope

I have been the 'child' in this relationship for 40 years!

I'm not going into details but we both seemed happy.

Now I want to build Independence and Autonomy.

My therapist says 'take charge of more things.'

I have made a list of things I can do.

What else should I be thinking about, directing my efforts toward?

broken99,

First thought that came to my mind, is ask what would be helpful to start relieving the responsibilities from the 'parent' in your relationship.  Speaking from my heart, I know this would be something that would be meaningful.  Ask :)
