[QUOTE="katya02, post: 192852, member: 2884"] I suspect that those parents who remain objective despite their kids being addicts, or in prison etc., went through the same hurt and anguish as any of us and have now reached a place where they have detached. I think any parent (I mean caring, attached parents, not those who are abusers or drug addicts themselves) would go through this process. I understand completely about intellectually understanding detachment 101, but not being able to get heart and emotions to fall in line. It seems to be a process more than a one-time achievement; we detach in theory, then in certain situations where we can manage to do so, and gradually become more able to be objective as harder situations arise. A process of one step at a time, I think. [/QUOTE]
