Do you think you've detatched completely? You said the marriage was dead but the connection is still there. Can't the connection still be there even if one has detatched completely. Doesn't detatchment mean that you completely realiize thay you have NO CONTROL over the other persons thoughts, feelings, and actions...and that you accept that? Have you done that?
I feel for ya'. I really do. You get thrown up and down and left and right and back and forth in this thing! I wonder, if you are completely detatched, and if you're not...maybe it would help if you were.
"Always go straight forward, and if you meet the devil, cut him in two and go between the pieces." - William Sturgis, clipper ship captain, 1830's.
