I know I don't comment very much... I've been reading your entries, and I'm sorry that you're going through a difficult time. However, you seem to be trying to deal with it in positive ways (at least as much as one can tell through LJ), and I hope that it's helping.
I just wanted to say that your epiphany is the expression of most everything I've come to realize about myself, but been too afraid to face. And you've made so many good points in your entry. I have been so dependent on the individual I'm in a relationship with, depending on them almost completely to validate my self-worth. And as you said, it's a lot to ask of someone. It has pushed people away from me in the past, and now it's one of my biggest fears that I will just continuously push people away because I have trouble loving myself.
I wish you all the best - because learning to love yourself is probably (in my opinion) the hardest, but most important thing you can learn. I'm still trying to figure out how to do it... and I guess all I really wanted to say is that it's somewhat comforting that I'm not the only one.
