Boy do I relate to this.
If he ever loved "me" at all, he's in love with who he thought I was, who he thought he could turn me into.
He's in love with a shadow of himself.
But it's not me anymore.
I'm going to walk in the sun from now on.
Thank you for this thread, Tuffgirl.
I keep coming back, I keep reading and learning here too, so this thread is for me as well.
