I'm just throwing this out there, but it's something my husband says often. He says it as a joke but there's a lot of truth in jest...
"You have no idea what it's like inside here (pointing to himself). You can walk away, I can't!"

I think a lot of us here feel like that at times and wish we could just walk away from ourselves. However, when I think about that, then I think I'm adding myself to the list of people who abandoned me.
