I see this as not a failure at all, but rather a successful decision for your own peace and happiness. It sounds like an awful experience. Why would dropping something awful that you don't need be a failure? It's a good decision.Of course I can see, though, how not being able to get into the website is a reminder that you are no longer affiliate with this company. That is a loss even if you were not happy there. And given your history, it makes sense that it is triggering. Please keep re-framing as many times as you need to. This is not a failure. It's a proactive decision made thoughtfully.
Warmly,
