Detachment is neither kind nor unkind. It does not imply judgment or condemnation of the person or situation from which we are detaching. Separating ourselves from the adverse affects of another persons behavior* can be a means of detaching: This does not necessarily require physical separation. Detachment can help us look at our situations realistically and objectively.Detachment allows us to let go of our obsession with anothers behavior and begin to lead happier and more manageable lives, lives with dignity and rights, lives guided by a Power greater than ourselves. We can still Love the person without liking the behavior. ~ Al-Anon Family Groups
Detachment means you can stop: Suffering because of the actions or reactions of other people Allowing yourself to be used or abused by others Doing for others what they can do for themselves Manipulating situations so others will eat, got to bed, pay bills, exercise, or do whatever you think they should do. Covering up for anothers mistakes or misdeeds Creating A Crisis Preventing a crisis if it is in the natural course of events
