The key to detachment is giving her space without seeming cold. That's what it comes down to. Giving her space to figure things out. That doesn't mean to not invite her to things or to not engage.

It means that you can invite her to join you and the kids to do something, but if she doesn't want to, then no biggie. It's allowing her the space and time to decide what she wants or doesn't want to do.

You're going to have to stop seeing her as your W and more like a roommate right now. Don't isolate her. Joke with her, see if she needs anything and just be there for her when SHE WANTS it.

Emotion, yet peace.
Ignorance, yet knowledge.
Passion, yet serenity.
Chaos, yet harmony.
Death, yet a new life.
