It does take time to unpack those feelings. With distance we can see clearly how dysfunctional it really was and how it wasn't meeting our needs. It creates great perspective on what healthy attachments are and sounds like you and the Dr are in the right spot with it. It's being clear headed.
We will all be working on things until the reaper comes, but I am sure you are in such a better place now. I am saying that cuz I know that I am too. Hope the D's are doing well.
