I do have a soft heart for most everything else, but this situation.
Detaching is a form of protecting your heart.
It is survival in the MLC world.
Most standers though have the ability to soften their heart as the process nears the end.
I think the key is to be flexible when you feel more safe in your situation.
Does that make sense?
