Can someone rephrase this?
Reading Melody Beattie right now and I know I am missing the point. Was hoping someone could make the point in a different way.
I almost feel like detachment means you ignore what another person is doing to be obnoxious/unhealthy/inappropriate and just live inside a happy little bubble. Regardless of their behavior, you are so good at detaching with love, you are happy in spite of that behavior. As a result, you can stay in the relationship.
Like I said, I know I am missing the point. Anyone have any thoughts to contribute? I think my confusion goes along with my obvious inability to set boundaries. :-)
