I know when I first joined the board and saw the response to "detach" repeatedly posted after almost everyones first post, I thought detach meant to do as the Sandi's Rules state; don't call, don't text, etc... but then I came across another post (which I can not find now) that explaned detachment more like AnotherStander described it above. "Detaching" made much more sense when it was explained more like this point stated in the article:
"Ability to maintain an emotional bond of love, concern and caring without the negative results of rescuing, enabling, fixing or controlling."
