I have a lot going for me and If I can transition out of this D I feel I can attract a heathier R next time
any suggestions?
Thanks

F - All Of The Above

Those are definitely some of the tactics you can use to let go. I think you will have to adjust to do what is proper for a given situation and period in your life.

Practice is MOST DEFINITELY the place to start, same old fake it til you make it. You might go through phases where you can interact more, then others when you have very limited contact. You can vary the lines of communications, voice, text, email, and use whatever allows you to "let go" the easiest. I went through periods when I didn't want to hear my X's voice.

I guess the bottom line is that you will have to use what is right for you. As long as you maintain focus on your goal, which is LETTING GO yet maintaining a good co-parenting relationship. Don't allow any other thoughts to cloud your mind.

It sounds to me like you are in a good mindset in order to be successful at this. Especially that last part. Good for you! Great!
