Newby here, desperate for some advice (thread 3)

JRuss--

Thanks. Lots of challenging ideas in there. I'd like to ask you, what does this mean for people like us who are separated-in-house, listening to the clock tock-tock, waiting for the guillotine to drop?

> How do you "Give another person 'the space' to be herself"?
> How do you "Develope and maintain a safe, emotional distance"?

And what about:
> To "let go" is not to cut myself off; it's the realization I can't control another.

How do we not cut ourselves off from our separated W's, while keeping a safe emotional distance?

I'd like to ponder the above questions in real-life scenarios. We're sitting at a dinner table. Do you carry on a normal H & W conversation? Do you ask how their day went and sympathize w/ their joy and sadness?
