AS - I agree completely. I don't want to feel feelings like that, it just happens. Its why LH is right, I need to keep my distance from her because it impacts my detachment. Or I'll struggle more with the cruddy feelings of hope which lead to anxiety and sadness and impact my ability to heal.

I believe that is where the concept of No Contact - to just get me out of the "ring" and save myself for another day is probably best. All and all I've been doing pretty good. We'll see how these next days without the kids go beginning tomorrow for 5 days.
