CTH, loving detachment is SOOOO WEIRD!!!!! In my mind, I say, well, I'll just change the way I think or act about certain things and then everything will fall into place. I mean, I've read that in like a million self-help books.

My IC has been relentless in his efforts to change my thinking on this. He draws me diagrams every other week about the intersection of influence and responsibility - and BTW, I have NONE of EITHER with Mr. A! But it's only now just starting to sink in. I can be a slow learner, for sure.
