A lesson is learned but the damage is irreversible
(Title stolen from an old webcomic)
In addition to learning how to value my needs, how to respect my limits, and how to deal with loss that I was pretty sure would kill me, I'm also learning how to enforce my boundaries with other people. For the first time in my life, I'm cutting off people who are actively bad for me, and telling others to knock their toxic bullshit off.
I wish I'd learned how to do this 15 years ago.
