[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 622903, member: 15801"] I like the concept of detachment being about what is going on in your head rather than what you are physically doing or not doing. For me ultimately it was giving up the idea that I have any control over the decisions my adult child makes. To me that is a healthy step for me and a positive step for our relationship as well.....he needs to know I recognize I have no control over him and then maybe he can start trying to fight his view of my control and make the decisions that are good for him because he feels they are good for him, rather than rebelling against me!
