I think a lot of us here feel like that at times and wish we could just walk away from ourselves. However, when I think about that, then I think I'm adding myself to the list of people who abandoned me.

I feel exactly the way you quoted your husband. But that's part of therapy, at least for me, learning to be able to live with myself since I can't escape. (We'll, I did in a sense for 6 years, but that only made things worse).
The bolded part: wow. That's deep. I kind of don't even know what to say in response. But it is so true. I'm definitely going to hang onto that idea. Anything that stops my thought process like this is a powerful tool. Thank you.
