Hi, I don't think True was suggesting that you quit. They do the most awful things in MLC and become the opposite of all they once were.

Love doesn't die, at least in my experience. What we are having to do is separate out a lot of stuff. Our love for who they were [and may still be buried under all of this garbage], but recognise we do not love many aspects of the person they now are, and never could have. If they had been like this when we met them we would not have married them . . . .

I do think it is better to tell people who relay stuff to you that you don't find it helpful. No point causing yourself unnecessary pain - there is emough of the other stuff around for now.
