Gosh, I wish I could tell you, but I'm not a good person to ask.

when it happened with me there wasn't any repairing; he just figured out he couldn't handle what I was going through. No drama, no bugging out when I was really down, just, "this isn't working, we need to go different ways."

Killed me. Life went on, I mean, I have a good family now and all, but yeah, this disease takes a lot in payment. It still hurts to think of him and others who couldn't take the problems or who got hurt by me when I cycled.
<that's just about all I can say. I'm really, really sorry that you're going through this. Take courage
