[QUOTE="hearthope, post: 68703, member: 2389"] My summary on my detachment ~ I came here and was advised to detach. I read all the info on detachment and I thought I was practicing it. Each time something 'new' happened with my son I would dive right into the middle of it. I tried everyway imaginable to manipulate the situation. When I had exhausted every chance, every next time... I let him go. I didn't call. I didn't look. One of largest humps (mountains!) I had to get over was that it was okay for me to be happy even if my son wasn't living right. In my mind, he was miserable. Running from place to place, abusing drugs, etc. The reality was he was living it up in his mind. He wasn't miserable he was doing EXACTLY what he wanted to do. The pursuit of happiness.....it is an activity [/QUOTE]
