Depends on what you mean by detachment? The feeling that you are detached from everything? Or leaving a relationship that has gotten unhealthy? Or do you mean to pull yourself out of the emeshment of codependency but keep the relationship?

In my life, I've found that you do need to detach in certain ways...

I am finding that my emotions do not need to be based on how my husband feels one day to the next. I'm trying to let go, even though it's hard.

Do your own thing, whether or not your spouse feels like doing it with you.

Think about yourself more and doing things that will please only you.

Go out with your children, by yourself, without worrying about being a family unit. Stop worrying yourself to death and don't cry when you see a family out---together.

Give your children more responsibilities and space--not a million questions.

Ignore and walk away from any insults, accusations or verbal abuse thrown at you.

Everyday, tell yourself you are a good person.

Keep pluggingalong.

This is what helps me get through each day!

Hope it helps dasdasdas...

Hugs!!!
