Sue,

What do you mean I am not allowed to contribute on your thread after you hi-jacked mine!!

My experience, limited as it is, has taught me that detachment a key. It's only when you detach from the pain and suffering from the situation that you can see through to future possibilities. My W's EA was an addiction. An addiction for immediate attention. I don't think that is too much different from other more defined addictions.

Without detaching from her actions and behaviors I would never have had a chance to really see why she was doing what she was. I really think she still has no idea how much pain she has caused me. But does that matter?
Once detached maybe it doesn't?

Thanks for an opportunity to explore a few thoughts here Sue you have certainly given me something to think about.

Chris
