Thank you, blur. I am leaning that way.

We live a plane ride away from each other. I don't want to cut him out. But his accusations in the heat of anger demonstrate that he doesn't like me, or thinks I'm an unpleasant person.

But his apologies the next day were all, "I love you."

I really don't need any one to lob insults at me about my personality. I already struggled enough with thinking I'm unloveable.

I'm so confused! He has a hard life.

I told him he can't come visit me, as planned, unless he starts his own counseling.

He really needs therapy, too. He's been abandoned his whole life.
