Up in the air, LONG

[Not Quitting]

I really wish I could detach. I just have no idea how to do it 1. Without losing feelings for him

You're not alone there. Detaching is the one thing I've really struggled with, and still do. Don't want to come across as cold and uncaring, but don't want to be weepy and emotional. This rollercoaster ride isn't an enjoyable one.

The advice I've been getting from friends is GAL and do whatever you can to maintain a PMA - not easy, but I've done it by reminding myself that I need to stay strong for my son's sake. He can't see how down and depressed I am by this sitch because h'es got his own struggles with his dad not being around.

We just need to remember that we're not alone with all the great people and advice on this forum.
