thanks Floyd. Also I did go over the live strong site version of detachment and it is close to my definition. I also had previously read a book by David Schnarch Called Passionate Marriage. In this, he details much of the same stuff. MWD also quote some of this work in her books. Great read.

I just finished the day with my kids and we enjoyed it. Venting aside....my W called my D13 who was with me 2 times today. She knew I was right there with D13 when she called. I felt bad b/c my D was uncomfortable. All's the W could talk about was the horses again. My D loves that too, but she's got lots interests. That's all I ever said to W. Let's share all that life had to offer. I want to slide into home plate dirty and all used up. C'mon let's go enjoy this life together. she bailed! arrrhgghhh frown
