Often my periods of greatest growth have been tinged with a lot of sadness too. I think that's a normal reaction.
I know for me it's usually been much like you, seeing things as they really are and not the delusions I held for years. It's like saying goodbye to an old friend, albeit a dysfunctional friend!
You're doing great gal. Don't beat yourself up over the last 14 years. It serves no purpose. Things happen for a reason.
