[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 490773, member: 1550"] The way I understand it (and I had to...I had a child we adopted at six years old walk out of our lives)...is letting go. If you believe in God, a good way to look at it is to make it God's worry now. There is nothing we can do. I always thought of it as moving away/moving on emotionally. If my son walks back into my life (unlikely and I'm not sure I'd welcome it) then I will have to focus again. Right now I have detached enough emotionally, inside, that I don't think about him and my thoughts stay with the others in my life. I do not know if this is how other people see detachment. This is how I do though. [/QUOTE]
