Congrats on the steps you have taken so far. This journey takes a while. And we grow as we move forward. You are doing as AS would say and lovingly detaching. Being detach doesn't have to be mean and a person feels when you are truly detached from them, mean or not. Really if you are being mean, than you are not detached. But rather if you are treating them like any other regular person in your life, than you have truly reached detachment. So if you are a pleasant person, being pleasant is a place where your emotions are not attached to their actions. That's true detachment.
If you are detaching correctly their will be a moment when your WW realize, you are treating her like a regular person in your life and she no longer holds a priority in your head space. That's a hard place for a lot of WW/WS, that's used to controlling their LBS emotions and actions. Losing power no matter the form can be very devastating.
A detached Steve would respond to a WW call like this:
WW: Calling Steve: Hello WW: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, Steve: Oh ok, are the kids Ok? WW: Yes, but, blah blah, me, blah blah, my day, blah blah, blah, your son, blah blah, Steve: Well, I'm glad to hear to kids are ok, you have a good rest of your day. Hang up
You weren't mean, you listened, you didn't interject, and you asked the important questions.
You are doing good. Keep up the hardwork. Keep reading AS rules for lovingly detaching.
