Sounds like a good assessment, PC. I'm glad you got a great guy to be your partner in continuing to grow. :) I know you're responding well to your therapist's style of therapy, so it's clear how therapy can help you meet your goals.
(P.S. Your story reminded my of my son when he was little and the truths that kids can teach us. I remember how all the little ones would hold it together through the stress of preschool pretty well and wait till they were safely with mom before having a meltdown. Maybe now that you are safe, with a good man and a stable life, it felt safe enough to release some of that accumulated stress of all those years? Which is bound to be a good thing in the long run because holding it in can't be an emotionally healthy thing. You had an awful lot to hold in and very few safe places to release it for an awfully long time.)
