[QUOTE="keista, post: 456664, member: 11965"] At this very moment, it's it difficult for me to say that there is anything wrong with you. I think your feelings of detachment are normal and HEALTHY. The reason I say this is because I just had an hour long conversation with a friend who came over to witch about her boyfriend. How stupid and illogical, and nasty and aggressive, and addicted he is. How he puts his looser brother's welfare over her children's. How he and the brother and their friend is living in her house, rent free, and not contributing financially. [B]BUT[/B] otherwise he's PERFECT and she LOVES him! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Logically she knows what is right and what is wrong, and even how to fix it, but those &*(&*%^&% emotions keep holding her back. How this relates to you? So, you're more of a logical cranial person as opposed to emotional. I really don't see anything wrong with that, and in fact, in many ways I think it can help you make healthier decisions. Your daughter is mean to you. Essentially she is abusing you. Are you saying you'd rather be an emotional wreck that wants her around you all the time even though she's abusive? I think feeling distant, or not feeling anything is a healthier way of surviving the situation. After all, she might be living with you for 5 more years. Your relationships with your friends? If it works for both parties, then there is nothing wrong with it. I've got friends that I don't talk to, or interact with, like, ever, but when we do get together, it's like no time has passed at all. It's the nature of those particular relationships. It's always a good idea to periodically asses your emotions and relationships. Sounds like this is what you are doing right now. If you do decide that you don't want it this way, and it's not working for you anymore, then you know what to do - get yeself into therapy and work it out. Otherwise, I don't see anything inherently wrong with your emotional responses or lack thereof. [/QUOTE]
