Dont agree with LEGS. You can always be daddys girl...just make time for it and put it into proper perspective. We all need to unwind and spend some time just "playing". But be sure that you have a healthy adult relationship with your dad or it will get in teh way of you and your bf. If you treasure the new relationship with your dad the old one will be just fond memories...you dont stilll eat baby tapioca, you dont wear saddle shoes...its the next stage honey....time to let go....

Moving out of the nest is exciting AND scary. What you are feeling is perfectly normal. The transition between being a comforted and sheltered child to an adult with an equal footing in the world can be a bit scary.
If you are concerned about still being "Daddy's girl", you can arrange to have a daddy - daughter night once a month to keep in touch about the issue of life you want to share.
It is also important for you to establish a home for your son and yourself. Also, if your boyfriend is the Daddy to your child, then consider also the need for a family relationship for your child. He needs to be able to know how the family dynamic in his life should go. He needs the stability of "his house" in order to be able to grow and mature.
As you progress through the steps of making your own home, you can invite your immediate family to come be guests in YOUR home.
You won't miss out on anything that you are willing to make time for and your son will have a richer and more full life to have loving people who care about him the way you obviously care about your father.
Good luck!

You can still call and talk to him and maybe set it up where the two of you go out to lunch like once a week or something or maybe once with you and take your son with you the second time. That way you and your dad can keep your relationship and your son can know his grandpa.

Stonechic's advice is very sound, although from my personal standpoint, I would prefer to see you two married rather than living together. I am sort of old fashioned that way.

It's just something you'll have to overcome...
