I think her battery had gone beyond it-s charging capacity so she wanted me to be there to advise about getting it replaced under a replacement scheme. From my initial reading into detaching and going dark I assumed that I am meant To give her an indication that I am no longer available to help with such things, she is making the choice to D and that will have it-s consequences.
Well, detaching and going dark are two completely different things. Detaching is just pulling back, not pursuing, not pressuring with R talks and giving her time and space. Going dark is really more for the LBS than the WAS, it's kind of a last resort when the LBS is having a lot of trouble detaching. Going dark is stopping all contact, which is nearly impossible when kids are involved. Early on you should first try to follow Sandi's rules and detach. Later you can evaluate if you need to go dark.
So if I understand correctly and she needs you there because you are on the account, then under the rules of detachment you would go, but not "rescue" her (IE, just stand back, let her do the talking and not say or do anything unless specifically asked by the clerk).
