[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 658174, member: 18516"] Detachment can go beyond our Difficult Child. I have come to understand that being overly attached to anything can be unhealthy. I learned this back when my son was a teenager and on a regular basis he would ransack my home. I had some art pieces that my parents had given to me that my son destroyed, among other things. I was heartbroken and beyond angry. It took time but I started to look at what I was angry about. I was angry at my son for what he did but this was the beginning of my realizing that my attachment to the art and other things he destroyed was tied to my emotions. I was giving power to my emotions and not in a good way. Things and possessions are all temporary but our memories are with us always. I can't replace the gifts my parents gave me that my son destroyed but I can close my eyes and go back to when they gave them to me. When I watch the news and they show families that have lost their homes to tornado's or floods, I watch the people and how they react. There are some that are just completely devastated and there are the ones who while very upset are realistic and talk about how what's important is that they survived and a house can be rebuilt. IWP, selling the house is an opportunity for a completely fresh start. Remember, the memories are always with you. Take your time in making your decision. Make a list of the pro's and con''s, sometimes seeing it on paper helps. [/QUOTE]
