Re-read the stuff on detaching. It really has nothing to do with physical proximity or amount of contact.
Not helping her out with the kids is not detaching, to me.
BTW you weren't catering to her, you were catering to your kids. Ask yourself, is it best for you kids to be in a situation with a sick parent?

Thanks H this is the stuff I need to hear and need to adjust my thinking. You are right. I am confusing detaching a little. Its hard to detach with as much contact as we have right now.
