I think that it is detaching. I realise that I don't need her affection, and I don't need to be affectionate to her either. It's still my choice.
Thats fine. But thats not really what detachment is about. I think it's more than just not needing affection. It's about being in control of your emotions. Judging from your actions (....reactions?...) the last few days, I would say that you are anything BUT in control of your emotions.

I dont have a clue what you are talking about. Fun? This isnt about having fun. You can "be a rebel" all you want. It's your life. But I know that if you treat this like a game, you arent going to win. And you are going to wind up seeing your son two days a week. If thats cool with you, then fine, Im not sure theres more for us to discuss.

Yes, this is all true.
But be careful about that bolded word.
I think youve proven that your feelings change. And quickly.
Let's see how "liberated" you feel tomorrow. Or next week. Or next month. Or next year.
