Dear Dan:

Thank you for your kind words. Detached is the way to go, in these circumstances. It allows you to function as well as you do, so yes, it is the way to go. “I’m trying to break free from the pain of the past” is the title of your thread. Maybe complete breaking free from that pain is not possible. So you break free best you can, detach from her and have as good a relationship as possible with your son.

Post again anytime you’d like and I’ll be glad to reply to you.
