Thanks for the support Sandi! I have read the link on detaching and it's a work in progress. After years of being a chronic "fixer", I do find it difficult to not try to fix this and to let my W figure this out on her own. I feel like I'm getting a little bit stronger and better at detaching every day, but it's still a bit of a struggle somedays.

I also struggle a bit with shutting my mouth and not saying anything, although I've been doing better with that the past week or so, not really talking unless she says something first.

I keep thinkging about the need to take this one day at a time and to do everything I can to be a little bit better for myself every day.

Thanks again!
