But it would take a better person than I, to be able to concentrate on such matters without at least some emotional attachment...........but I take your [Dorothy's] point.

I don't think it's a matter of "concentrating" or of being "better" in the least.
It's just a matter of noticing your attachments as they come up and letting them just
be.
Don't judge your judgments, IOW, as this just adds layers of complexity, I think.
Also, notice that
the things we judge outside of us are mirroring things inside us, so that
accepting ourselves is not something different from accepting others, at the deepest level.
When you can own that
the polarity is inside, rather than projecting it outward, all you have to do is sit with the feeling until it resolves. [Disclaimer: this doesn't mean you should live with someone who is beating you up--but you can continue to work on the issue from a safe distance!]
It can help to put your attention simultaneously on your physical heart, on "God" or something positive, but if you just have a mustard seed of faith that the Universe is friendly, just
sitting and breathing with the uncomfortable feeling inside without judgment or trying to change it will eventually cause it to resolve.
I believe this is a deep alchemical/spiritual process that affects collective reality.
There are endless layers of things that need healing: this is a lifelong process.
I hope your "circumstances" are resolving nicely.
