Yeah, I rolled my eyes really hard on that one lol.
Unless you have been in a relationship with an addict, or researched it at the very least, people really have no idea.
Hearing "you deserve better" or things to that nature is so cliche too. I've always felt like I deserved better than the way I was treated during our relationship, and told her that numerous times. Hell she even said it voluntarily many of times.
I just really hate how we can't just hit a switch in our brains to cut off feelings like an addict does. As awful as she was to me, I really don't think she fully understands the severity of her decisions still and probably won't until she feels hurt similar to what she caused others.
