I agree with this wholeheartedly. I also highly recommend attending al-anon meetings and reading their literature. It saved my life when I lived with my ex-husband and still saves my sanity to this day. They talk about detaching with love, and I learned how to be non-reactive in those situations and stay calm. It took me years but I did it.
