I'm Back after 1st DB (5)

toughtimes, I get the spiraling. We all were there once. That is why detachment is money. Ever see water roll off of ducks back? That is what you want to get to with your WAW's words and deeds. That they roll off your back like water off a duck. No effect. That seems to be the last place you are struggling. When she, in your words, "complicates, blocks, frustrates, etc." That's what WWs do! We all have stories about our WSs and how they were able to complicate, block and frustrate us. Overtime we got better at not letting them complicate, block and frustrate us. Emotional detachment is a state of mind. It takes work to get there. It won't always be 100%, but once you get it into the high 80%s towards the mid 90%s, life becomes a lot easier. So keep working on your detachment!
