TMCM,

That's good advice, I hope I can take it.

I guess, I meant that I hope I can detach. That would make this all so much easier if I could.

You detach by emotionally making peace with the fact that you cannot and should not control your WW.

Repeat it to yourself as many times as you need until it emotionally sinks in:

I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.

Sure thing native, it'll be good to have a buddy to walk around here chanting with me:
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.
I cannot and should not control my W.

Yep it's tough but once it sinks in you experience a peace of mind that can see you through the toughest of times.
