SciDad...that's not kinda fun - it's karma! LOL You're hanging in there, becoming the best version of yourself, and she's...what? What is she doing to help the situation?
I'd say if you're not jumping through hoops to please her - yes, you're detaching. I realized I was detaching when I would do something and would think "What would H think?" and then would decided I don't really care what he thinks. I really didn't think I would ever get to that point - yet, here I am.
I'm on the right path, I know I am. His little temper tantrum yesterday used to mean I'd be fretting and worrying. I asked for advice, but I didn't spend any time worrying. I really don't care. I just need help figuring out to transverse the minefield on my way out the door.
He probably is sensing it. That must be why he's forcing interactions more frequently. He's sensing that I'm moving on. I wonder why he cares, since he fired me - but I understand that to be a curiosity that is common.
I'm keeping up with your sitch, learning all that I can. Great job on the GAL!
