    Sadly it’s very human to want to cling to connections we have, even if they’re incredibly unhealthy. =/ Congrats to you for eventually figuring out and getting away! I hope she didn’t cause too much damage.

      That’s super sweet of you to ask. I was really depressed for several years, but I recovered. She was a big part of my life for a very long time and let her mask slip incrementally until I was left holding my head, confused as to how I let it get that bad. But no matter how bad things get, I’m always surprised at how resilient humans can be!
