The problem was as I began to heal from the emotional damage I'd sustained, she no longer felt we were on a level playing field and the stronger I got the more tension there was between us. Sometimes there is great power in being the "healer" or the "rescuer," and becoming less needed really gets to some people. I'm glad you've hung on to this point, because it has to be one of the reasons you'll always know that ending it was the right choice. They dynamic of a healthier you didn't mesh well with her, and that's nobody's fault.
But it could have been unbearable if you'd stayed.
