Peacebaby,
For my money, this could be a "success story" just about as good as the legendary Steph story on this forum.

Maybe even better, because it's not quite as anomalous-seeming as her case of a complete and total recovery on the part of her husband. It just makes darn good sense, too. Congratulations on taking this big step after such a long struggle.
Please keep dropping by from time to time to update.
Thanks, KateCat. I think Steph's husband was on the BPD-lite-depression side of the spectrum, and their being apart was necessary to their recovery. I wish we'd been able to do it sooner but that's the way it is. It's SO NICE not worrying about her problems any more, that her problems have no connection to my life. It rocks.
Oh, I plan to come around here. Even though I understand why I stayed in that relationship, I have a lot of codependancy work to do. To put it mildly.
