You might not have noticed that, over that same time, you have started to distance yourself emotionally from her. That's normal.

It sounds like, you have just landed in the - I don't care spot. That's normal. No one can keep hurting you over and over without at least some detachment happening, it's self preservation, you've just finally had enough.; You might still care for her on some level (or not) but the relationship is done.

I hope you are feeling good about where you are at now. You've been through a lot.
Trailmix Thanks for the reply
yes you are right I definitely have been distancing my self from her purely because her mental health was affecting mine i really couldn't take her being around for more than 2days at a time and yes I do care about her but I'm guessing I'm just at a point in my life now were I care more about me and my families health I'm actually trying very hard to not to beat myself up as to why I never left sooner I suppose you could say im dealing with the aftermath of not being in a toxic relationship anymore...!
