Congratulations!!! 
You may have had them in your life to finally learn to stand up for yourself and be strong. Who knows.
Your priorities seem to be clear now...happiness, peace and positivity first!!
Realizing this, standing tall and confident that you have overcome these 2 will repair many things !
Smile. :)
It helps to know these 2 MAY be your BEST soul buddies that came here to help you become stronger and clearer...just playing a role.
From my personal experience, anyway. Thank them within yourself for being mean. IMO.
