I don't know if I would go so far as to say it is safe or advisable to practice detachment, per se. But it is probably advisable to practice not allowing oneself to become overly attached or dependant on a person, or a habit, or a situiation. This rule applies primarily to everyday members of society. However...in the mental health fields, especially with therapists, such as Psychologists, if IS a cardinal sin to get too personally attached to a client. Or vice versa, for the client to become attached to their therapist. This latter scenario is not at all uncommon. We even have a name for it....... Enmeshment. Thanks. Side: Yes/I don't know
What about practicing after the fact of over attachment? Do you think it would help? And how to identify over attachment? If someone is too reluctant to speak because of fear of judgement, then would practicing detachment be the healthy route? Or is there another way that the person can help themselves become more willing and comfortable with speaking their mind? Side: Yes/I don't know
So...it sounds like you are asking if the old "once bitten, twice shy" school of thought is OK. And yeah, it is. If you were burned in the past from being overly attached, then yeah, you might do a gut check in future situations that seem like they might be heading in that same direction. But never be afraid to assert your thoughts or opinion on something. So long as is appropriate. And hurts nobody that you don't want to see hurt. In the case of matters of the heart, then you risk never finding a companion if you stay too detached. The good news is that as we get older we usually care less about the occasional snub. Or rejection. The whole peer pressure thing just seems to disolve as we gain maturity and confidence. Side: Yes/I don't know

From my recollection of High School, Blackmail is a crime, don't make the kids that grew up in the most strict households where there isn't any. you could always ask for child thinking "But not my kids" which is the the time that you were the sole parent, But I would consult a lawyer before meeting with me.
