This. Yes.
I did so many things for my XABF, gave him so much money, and time, and energy... And while it would be nice to have that money, time, and energy back to spend on me and my recovery, I don't regret that I spent it on him, because it allowed me to walk away with a clear conscience, knowing that I did everything in
my power, and that I could leave with no regrets.
If I had rushed this, I would have ended up back with him, and leaving again would have been more difficult.
