Carol Lynn, alanon.

Detachment.

this issue was what got me in the rooms of Alanon last September.  People just got to me, left and right. 

I almost died becasue I internalized everything they said and did to me---esp. the A's I got involved with.

I stopped making any more friends becasue I got so tired of the abuse and of my inabilty to detach.

Then in Alanon, I learned how to have a forgiving attitude and to treat ppl like sick ppl.

I did this not to be a better person but because I had detached with depression, despair, and hopelessness, not love.

I had to forgive them.

I did this to be SANE in my OWN HEAD before I could deal with them in love.

Pass.

Carol

The first time I expereinced any detachment at all was after I set & followed through on a boundary.  The emotional space felt incredibly amazing and I knew it was detachment and I wanted a whole lot more of that feeling. 

Today I can be emotionally autonomous, most days anyway.
