This is exactly what 25 was trying to point out - this is a pattern. You have LOTS of people sticking by you here and your pattern is to deflect when the subject of detachment and boundaries come up. The very subject of many of us feeling ignored by your response (or lack of them) has been brought up frequently. Another pattern, another apology and the cycle repeats.

From my end (and apparently I am not alone in my thinking) it does get frustrating.
