Trying to get my head around the fact that I will be 3hrs away from my bestest friend in the world, my heartbeat, my daughter...

We are EXTREMELY close but, she is drifting away as she gets on with life

Trouble with kids is that they are the centre of most parents world but as they get older and start to make their own lives, the sad fact is that parents are often not even in the same universe as them! Sounds like she knows what she wants so just let her have it.

She says she will be moving to Canada to work once Uni is over. Then, she will be thousands of miles away!!

Her mum is close to my heart

I have to think long and hard about it. Only thing holding me back is the thought that I may only see my girl once every couple weeks. We are EXTREMELY close but, she is drifting away as she gets on with life. That hurts. I know I have to let her do her own thing. I have ALWAYS been there for her, 24/7...I will always be there for her no matter what...

She will most probably join the Green Party.

Theres nothing you can do​

You just need to be there for her when it goes tits and with the wind she'll follow Nigel.

I agree.

I am finding it really difficult though. Time is against me. I need to find a place here or decide to go live with my brother in Devon.

It feels like I would be deserting my daughter.

But you're not.

You're still there for her, no matter what.

Geography won't alter that.

I think you are over thinking this. She is all for you moving in with your brother, she may be off to Canada and it will be a big weight off her shoulders knowing you are settled somewhere, just do it. There are worse places you could move to. Hull for example.

I suffer terrible with anxiety at times. I think my nerves are much worse these days.

My daughter is going to Canada for Uni the year after next. Then coming back for her final year in Uni. It is then that she wants to move to Canada.

Thing is, I have always been here for her. I was a stay at home Dad while being self employed too as ex wanted to go back to work full time. Me and daughter have an amazing bond.

Been divorced 8 years and I have been there for her and my ex, who I get along with really well.

When I was working for a main dealer in South Africa in the early eighties, they would blow out the brake drums and shoes when doing a service. Filled the bloody workshop up. Us Brits would down tools and stand outside until they opened both front and rear workshop shutters and the air had cleared. They stopped it after about the third or fourth time we walked out. They didn’t think it was dangerous.

No need to go to South Africa to see that, it happened plenty in UK.
But thinking about it, the elements and compounds in asbestos, silicates, calcium, magnesium etc aren't inherently harmful, so presumably it's the fibrous nature that's the problem. The asbestos dust coming off brake parts must be a very fine powder, so may not be harmful.
You read about people saying they only worked 1 day exposed to asbestos, but got mesothelioma decades later. Never heard anything about garage mechanics being at raised rrisk.

Must be at least 30 years now since the main manufacturers went asbestos free with clutches and brakes. BMW had an awful problem with clutch judder because of the new clutches overheating. Took them a while to resolve it. For certain applications asbestos was hard to beat.

Anyway...........woof!

It'll be hard for you, but at least she has the opportunity which quite frankly is now lacking in the UK...

Ours are thriving abroad, and fingers crossed they never choose to move back here...

But then they unlike their peers still enjoy the freedom of movement that was taken for granted for decades before it was removed!
