Sotto makes the good point up there, and it really isn't about "detaching from someone"... it's about "re-attaching to yourself, that's a great way to put it, so thanks to Sotto for pointing that out, and thanks to Vanilla as well, a much simpler version of what I was conjuring up. But I've done a lot of reading and writing on the topic, so I'll post my own thoughts when I get back from IC.


betterm,
I will be interested in your thoughts on detachment as I agree with you that many seem to misunderstand it and that maybe why it is such a struggle. I too have been reading and researching it for better understanding as well as I believe that it applies in more than just our MR. For both better and worse.
It wold be fun and enlightening to bounce our research and understanding back and forth and maybe even help many others with it's appropriate application.
