I have faith though that everything will turn out as it should.


As you should. What you need to realize is that 'should be' means several things, some of which require action on your W's part.

YOU 'should' have a good and decent life, with a loving partner and the freedom to be who you really are. That is your goal right now, to become the person who will be prepared to have these things.

YOUR W 'should' find her innner self respect, not need to be a caretaker, or codependent on others and generally become mature and emotionally self sufficient. We don't know if that is her goal right now.

The mindset you need to adopt is the same one I had. I was going to get MY life back on the track I wanted it on. After a while it was becoming clear that W was falling behind me in getting HER life on track. All I could do was stay strong and be a good example.

Luckily, she snapped out of it when she saw ME being strong and truly not 'needing' her.

Your W will go down a similar path. None of us know if she will wake up in time while you still want her. You may grow beyond her because your blinders are off. It's up to HER to change too.
