Sandi2 Thank you for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it! I'm glad you are able to give insight from the WAS perspective how the EA starts. I wish I would have thought about how I made her feel years ago. But we can't change the past only try to improve on the future.

As for the detaching/being neutral I'm going to continue to work on it. I just need to remind myself that I'm doing it for me and not her. That way its genuine.
