my ex-T fed off the admiration and glory i was serving him. and i was obsessively dependent on the crumbs he fed me in return. he loved it until the day when i dared to 'bite the hand that feeds me'. what i thought and felt was something important to explore in my relationship with him, he took as a wounding criticism and withheld the crumbs as punishment.
