Sacul, buddy, this was heartbreaking:
Our last year was me constantly watching my back, measuring my words, avoid talking a lot of things that triggered you. Wished I had been firm with my own boundaries since the beginning, as you constantly trespassed them, and I was lost on what to do. Hard was seeing you wither, harder was you taking it out on me.
I don't want to hate you. I've always believed in you, I know one day you'll leave behind that awful place you're in, the nasty people that surround you. Just... don't do this to anybody else again, ok?
Some of it resonates with me personally, but I'm actually watching this unfold with someone close to me. I've been (in so many ways) trying to tell her about the boundary/trespass thing and it hasn't really sunk in yet.
