DV and Ballast, yes that is exactly what dropping the rope is! No reaction of love, anger, hatred, vengeance, sadness, fear. Just.... ambivalence. It's hard to get there but once you do it's a great feeling of peace. That feeling of "I am detached and their actions can no longer affect me emotionally." People are always talking about how they are detached, but when someone is REALLY detached they don't say "I am detached", they instead make comments like the two of you just did that SHOW they are detached. It warms my heart to see you both there now.
