When I stopped talking to my X, I was better able to detach and get away to work on making me happy.
It sounds like to me that you are somewhere in the middle, where you have good and bad days. We've all been there. It gets better, trust me. As time goes by and you 'drop the rope' you start having more and more good days and because you've been working on you, you will gain more strength and independence.
Keep it up!
