It's said that we stay way too long, the sunk cost fallacy theory, where the fear of change is greater than the pain of remaining the same... It takes a very strong and brave person to walk away when the facts are very clear, but the emotions are high. Usually it's the other person's issues... You may 'trigger' the issues like when you say "nice day!" and they reply "what's so nice about it" and then spirals from there, but it's important to remember we didn't 'cause' it as much as you on the inside or they out loud might want you to believe. You may hurt them by doing what's best for you, but you are harming yourself by not... We hurt a puppy by giving it a needle to save its life but we are not harming it... Kicking it is harming. I don't pretend to know you, but I'm so proud of you! If that list is how you feel, then it is fact, and you have done something about that... This is a big deal and your life will be much better in the long run because of it!
You've done the right thing!
