It's ok - detaching from an enmeshed co-dependent relationship takes time. Be easy on yourself. One step at a time.
Thankyou.

Thank you for posting this and for being so honest about your feelings Brightstat. I also at times feel like this and thought that I was going crazy. The one moment I hate him and wish he was gone. But when he leaves I miss him terribly. I get so upset and frustrated with myself because it does not make sense how I can feel this way about another person. I am also having a hard time letting go. I am so sorry you are going through this and I just wanted you to know that I can relate to you.
Take care
A

Took me 18 months from initial separation to divorce and no contact. Back and forth, in and out of it all. I'm not a freak either, just a girl who loved a guy who had problems way bigger than me and my ability to cope. It was a painful, gut-wrenching, heart-breaking situation, for me and for him. But the day I let go - I knew it, I felt it, it wasn't momentous or life altering. It was just a subtle shift into the "I'm done" mind-set.
