Thank you angel. It's nice to have someone relate. Although I have friends and family to talk to, they still can't seem to walk in my shoes. That's when I question my sanity. I've been reading the posts here for 4 weeks before I posted today. That's why I've consciously done some of the things I've done. The one thing that I haven't done consciously, though, is the emotional detachment you mention. It just seems to be happening. Wondered if that was a self-preservation instinct. Do you think denial can be in the subconscious? Thanks for listening. I needed that.
