Bingo! You are of course right. I am still attached (I kid myself otherwise) and I didn't like being non communicative. Yes, I am a fixer who has always dealt with all the problems in the house (is that controlling?) and have kept peace when my S kicks off.
So, back to basics for me.
No, that's just normal. The 'fixing' part only becomes an issue when its of a personal nature. In other words if she just wants someone to listen to her and not try to resolve her issues.
