DETACHING:

~

Detachment is a key to recovery from codependency. It strengthens
our healthy relationships – the ones that we want to grow and
flourish. It benefits our difficult relationships – the ones that are
teaching us to cope. It helps us!

Detachment is not something we do once. It’s a daily behavior in
recovery. We learn it when we’re beginning our recovery from
codependency and adult children issues. And we continue to practice
it along the way as we grow and change, and as our relationships
grow and change.

We learn to let go of people we love, people we like, and those we
don’t particularly care for. We separate ourselves, and our process,
from others and their process.

We relinquish our tight hold and our need to control in our
relationships. We take responsibility for ourselves; we allow others
to do the same. We detach with the understanding that life is
unfolding exactly as it needs to, for others and ourselves. The way
life unfolds is good, even when it hurts. And ultimately, we can
benefit from even the most difficult situations. We do this with the
understanding that a Power greater than ourselves is in charge,
and all is well.
