[QUOTE="Go slow mama, post: 704105"] Thank you Copa for how beautifully you responded to the question of detachment. It has troubled me at times, made me feel deficient that I am presently incapable of it writ large, full on. But I too see a continuum of detachment, certain aspects being relevant and different times. I understand from my own professional capacity that detachment is far more complicated than it appears, and not solely because of our own personal limits. It comes down to our [I]standpoint[/I] as articulated by discourse theory. I loved this academic model for its allowance and embracing of variance in our individualism. So feminism for me as a white woman is going to look and mean something different than feminism for a woman of colour; and that is ok and equally valid. The thing about theories, is that they are good in theory. No one should feel they are held to or evaluated against any theory or model. Our family and parenting relationships are too complex as you've so well stated. If the prevailing model only sees us feel deficient it its face, it is not helpful from my view point. I applaud your critical thinking and articulation in your most difficult time. Thank you. I am glad you are still in process and not shut down. Although I would also understand if you were shut down at this point. [/QUOTE]
