I don't really have anything to add, LL just liked the way you counselled yourself through using the thread and the feedback.

You have helped me by just setting up the question of detachment/avoidance.   I think  I'm avoiding (but I'm really pursuing!) and when I think about being detached I know I'm really avoiding my attachment!!!   If that makes any sense??!!

I came across this the other day.  Written by Martha Beck who I always think manages to say things succinctly.

It's all about detachment.  Loving but no longer caring about behaviours or outcome.
