This is really good advice. Detaching was the hardest part for me, I think. And making and enforcing healthy boundaries. That's still hard -- I still don't have the emotional hardiness to make my ex stop using my house as his mailing address and texting me every day or so even though he's married to the OW LOL
Remember that boundaries are rules that you make to protect yourself, and which you can enforce. So what do you have in mind? Any thoughts? I'm glad you're doing some GAL activities, and going to the al-anon meetings. What else are you doing to detach?
