So there is not much going on in my sitch now. This is probably just the silence before another round of chaos. I have been reading other threads, posting in a few. I need to get back to the work that pays the bills so I thought I’d leave this board with this thread for a few hours. There was a discussion posted in another thread about what detachment means. It is a term I read often and I have used several times. I have not seen this defined here. There is quite a bit in DR about it. It can be googled and there are several resources with definitions on the web. Those all have to be internalized to build our personal definitions.

To me detachment means:

Having or permitting enough emotional space between ourselves and our spouses to permit personal growth for each.
Having enough emotional space between ourselves and the drama created by our spouses to permit personal growth.

What does detachment mean to you?

I have printed out the information on the link provided by gr8. It's important to what we're all trying to accomplish, but for life in general. It makes perfect sense. Certainly a difficult task to accomplish.
