Just want to chime in and say it looks like you're doing a great job, balancing being there for her but at the same time living your own life and not jumping at everything positive.
Your story gives me some hope, as I'm about to go through the road you traveled--detaching, GALing, and letting her initiate when she's ready. I'm hoping to use this time to get to a good place for myself where I am feeling positive and happy with life, yet still have the door open...I know it won't be easy, but seeing others do it let's me know that DBing can get me to where I'm ok no matter what happens.
Good luck and keep doing what you're doing, it seems like it's working.
