I do get what I give. I’m living my life in such a way that I’m developing my relationships with people who are kind, thoughtful, and who support my growth as a person. I’m really excited about where my life is going, and I have faith that I’m gonna be able to become a person who I want to be, with a life that’s rich and has meaning.

You aren’t trying to support me. None of this is supportive or helpful for me, which I’ve made very clear, but you keep going. Because that’s not what you care about, what you care about is claiming ownership over me and controlling me.

I’m so disappointed in you. You aren’t who I thought you were, at all. I guess I just saw what I wanted to see. I was desperate for the idea that somebody loved me. But in the future, I’m going to wait for more solid evidence that someone’s worth my emotional energy before I invest it.

I was immature, selfish, and naive. I behaved thoughtlessly, with no concern for how my behavior affected you. I just wanted to feel good and get what I wanted out of the situation. And now I’m paying for it. You’re certainly determined to take as much away from me as I took away from you when you were working on your sobriety (which, I do think you actually were doing, at some point, anyway.) And you’re acting with as little regard for my feelings as I acted with for yours. I guess it’s what I’ve got coming to me. But just to be clear, this is retribution, this isn’t a foundation for a relationship or anything.
