I've made progress in separating and becoming my own person so maybe that's as good as it gets. Personality disorders are difficult to overcome. I am doing my best. If it's not good enough, it's time to stop struggling and accept myself. That's kind of what I meant.
The interesting thing for me as I struggle to practice radical acceptance of myself is...My T says change becomes possible WHEN we radically accept ourselves.

My partner and my T accepts me as I am (they convey it often when I ask) and ironically, that helps me grow.

You're doing your best, and I hope you can be self compassionate with yourself
Thanks for this!
