Keep reminding yourself over and over WHY you broke up with her, what it was doing to your well being and frame of mind. Even if her outcome was great, the toll it is taking on you isn't worth it. Keep remembering it is a disease. You aren't 'abandoning' anyone, you are just burnt out on caregiving and now it is time to take care of YOU. Try not to overthink, attach meanings, dwell on the fantasies, etc. etc. Your story was exhausting for me to read So I can just imagine what you've been through.

Break ups are hard. Everyone can tell you a million things to do to get well but only time heals. It is the fantasy that you are having a hard time letting go of. Live in the present and heal. The future isn't known but you can't continue on this road for your own sanity.

Good luck.
