I empathize deeply as I was a few times in a similarly complicated situation. I know, posts like this arent about seeking "feedback" but simply releasing pressure, and thats 100% valid.
That said, one thing I learned from my own experience was to stop pointing fingers (build up badblood and seeking conflicts) and instead focus on the hard lessons about my own mistakes(learning!). I wish you the best in your next chapter. The path to becoming a good manager/colleague is never ending and demanding and its evident you want to be one ... Goodluck!
My ex used to be pissed when I spent whole day coding and dont wrote her a single message...
It was way back before gpt and twilio, so I bent one IRC bot and wrote collection of warm messages that was send via SMS on a pseudorandom timeframe. We broke up when she finds out ... Luckly for both of us I guess.
