[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 703184, member: 13561"] You are not alone and everything you are feeling is legit. Detachment, to me, is a LIFELONG process and is one that I have certainly NOT mastered, despite the INFINITE wisdom of all the people who post on these forums. I am a constant reader of this wisdom, hoping to find something that sticks. Pretty much ALL the advice here is spot on, but DOES IT CHANGE YOU? For me, no, because I keep on effing up. But that never diminishes what the posters have to say. There is so much pain, knowledge, experience, etc , in the posters' expressions, that, if you keep reading, you will surely find some word, phrase, story , that resonates with you. And then you build on that . To your point, I have no wisdom. I keep making the same mistakes over again. Most people , even those that I love, are shaking their heads and wondering when I'm gonna "wise up". But they haven't walked in my shoes, so they don't have the right to TELL me what to do. They can make suggestions and be supportive, but they don't know what it's like, so they need to think about what they are saying and who they are saying it too... But please, keep reading! You will find a treasure chest of knowledge and a new and different -and HOPEFUL, (sometimes :) information her. There's no place like it! [/QUOTE]
