    Oh. Brutal. Maybe I needed to hear that, there was a part of me that waited for way too long for “found family” until recently. Maybe at least I don’t have to feel bad about giving up on that

      It’s not a judgment on whether you should or shouldn’t, but the more you leave in place the standard o0enness to/reliance on a thing, the more not having it is going yo hurt/disable you. That’s not to say it’s a binary. There are creative adaptations and shit¹, and sometimes its smart to hold out, its not purely scar tissue/bleeding. More like having a room for someone to stay, and cleaning out their shit yo be a mechanical room or gym or torture dungeon or whatever. No value judgment here; I’m not your mom.
