Yes detachment is a challenge no doubt. You would think six months down the road I would be dealing with this better - but I know there is no timetable and its just a grind it out and get thru each day type of thing - at least for me.

Support group meeting was good - always good to be around people who understand and can sympathize and offer advice. The discouraging thing is that there are people I meet who are 5 years down the road, and they are still having detachment issues. I know everyone is different, but I also know me and I've always been an emotional person, and I worry that I will continue to feel like I'm feeling. People do tell me it begins to subside and hurt less - but it takes time and everyone is different. So -one day at a time still the best strategy.

W called me last night and invited me and my son to Easter dinner on Sunday at the house. It's more like a "come over and eat" type of invite, but I accepted and will make the best of it.

Not really doing much for myself or gal'ing for that matter - I am really just trying to adjust to all this and keep my sanity. You seem to be doing really well and have a positive attitude - so like I said in your thread - keep it up - thats a great thing. Will stop by your thread later.......
