I gave him my power (well not consciously). Everything he said or did impacted me. It was like I was weak and dependent. Like his actions determined my fate rather than mine.

With these posts, and others in this thread, it seems like you're conscious of your situation and your dilemma. How can we offer more support? Do you need encouragement and validation as you develop strength and practice owning your own power now? I'm impressed how you've asked for help, taken what is helpful to you, and discarded what isn't. Do you see your exercise of power in that? I do.
You gave it away. He wasn't worth it. Now, you have now and the next days going forward. Yes, there is grief. But, I have known people in support groups, unfortunately, who I don't think even made it this far. So, congratulations and best wishes going forward!!
