[QUOTE="klmno, post: 325841, member: 3699"] This is a good topic. I do think that there is healthy detachment, where one still works thru those feelings somehow, and an unhealthy approach- which would be more like denial or refusal to deal with it, leaving negative stuff to come out some other way. But I also think that detachment has to be different if the difficult child has become an adult than if the difficult child is still a minor. Maybe I'm wrong- I just haven't figured out yet how it could be the same if the difficult child is supposed to return home and I'm supposed to go back in parent-mode. [/QUOTE]
