LITB - I wish I could carry you and the others with me when I have these interactions with H. I'm hoping that as time goes on I will internalize everyone's advice and be able ride this bike without the training wheels. IOW - THANK YOU!

Did the camera case (shaving kit case) affect you emotionally?
It did! D@amn it! I thought I was past that. On the plus side, I didn't respond like before. My voice was really calm and I said, it's fine, it's your business. However he knew I was bothered which is why he insisted I see it was a camera case. He was carrying it around to give to me...

How about what he said about his focus being on your kids? Did that sting?
Before it would sting. Now I get annoyed. I immediately want to get off the phone. Not because I had expectations but I'm just tired of his lack of interest in R.

Do you calculate your words/actions while interacting with your H(walking on eggshells)? Not anymore. I feel better in this aspect.

So tell me...What did I score in terms of detachment??? (1-totally detached, 10-totally attached)
