That makes a lot of sense. I am definitely trying. The pictures honestly didn't shock me at all, but her posting them openly did.
I completely expect her to keep acting out. I'm still doing the GAL thing (in fact, I made some new friends today and ended up randomly hanging out with them the entire day, and it was a blast).
I think that detaching for me is really difficult because I cared so much, got blindsided, and then everything just fell apart. It was a huge amount of crap within a very short period of time.
But I think you're right. While I'm trying to detach, I'm only doing it kind of...not 100% yet.
I'm not sure at all how long it will take. I'm getting better, but it's taking what feels like an eternity.
I'm about to have a talk with all of the friends/family and request that they do not, under any circumstances, send me any information about her, her stupidity, or anything else. It's just too much to handle, and I can't detach if I keep getting steamrolled over and over again. I know that they mean well, but it's just too difficult, and seems to be derailing what I'm trying to do, which is DB the hell out of this.
I know I've been really mixed up about everything. I know that I tend to make a lot of DB mistakes. I wish there was a big reset button for everything.
