You didn't imply anything, and I did not take any of your words as anything but what I truly needed to hear. I can not thank you enough.
There may be just way too much water under this bridge to save this relationship, but I do need to come to the place where at the very least I can stop beating myself up about all of this. Oddly enough, seeing in black and white how I keep perpetuating these problems helps with that. Your reply brought up so much emotion in me that I realized that I really didn't understand the damage I was doing.
