One step back, two steps forward Cinco. I have been there myself quite recently. Don't beat yourself up about it, but do learn from the experience.

Maybe a little more investment in yourself would heal those raw spots. Is it easy? Heck no! I'm still trying, but it is empowering when there are things YOU can work on instead of trying to change her.
