I think it was wise V who once said detaching is more about re-attaching to your own life. I think this perspective helps because if we are always thinking - I need to detach from them - it all remains about them. Whereas if we re-attach to our own life, friends, interests, passions and so on - without reference to the WAS and regardless of what they may be up to - it is all about us...
Hope this helps a little
