yeah that's the problem, I still feel as though I need her. I am trying hard to disconnect from her, but its a struggle
Do you feel you need to "disconnect" in order to "detach?" I'm no trained psych, but IMO these are different things. As is the comment darknes replied to. You CAN turn things around, you CANT "make/get/convince" anything out of another living person. They can only do that for themselves. Part 1 of that can lead to a possibility in part 2 happening, but nothing is certain when dealing with other people... we each make their own decisions and naturally resist when others push ideas at us we don't agree with at the time.
