Agreed. And the damage almost makes you regress to worse than when you started. The relationship is so one-sided that we will always have more at risk, more ties to the relationship. Whereas they can walk away with little to no consequences. At least when a friendship ends, you both walk away with each other's secrets, but not in a therapeutic relationship.
