I think this is one of those situations where you put on your own oxygen mask before caring for your neighbor. If you're not properly detached how can you be prepared to tackle rebuilding the relationship when that time comes? If that means you withdraw for a time in order to get there, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Others may dis age, but I've grown a lot during our time apart. Growth that wouldn't have happened if I hadn't taken the opportunity to detach.

Short term pain for long term gain?
