The lesson is to realize that you deserve to be treated better than that, but when you really get it, you will be able to let go of her and the situation. You seem to already realize this, but some part if you is fighting it. You need to internalize the truth that you deserve better treatment, accept that and simply allow it to be the truth that it is. That will require self esteem.
EDIT: So I just had a moment where, after a day of being harshly critical, my dad apologized for acting like an asshole, saying he realizes he should be better when he's in pain and wished he did better. I said "I love you" and we hugged. And I thought to myself: "This. This is what I deserve" So now that I believe that I realize Shannon's right, I DO deserve better. And I DO need to let that sink in and forgive her and love her anyway because THAT'S what we all deserve.
