Taking sole responsibility for legacy app

Legacy app fell to me due to lack of experience in team member, causing demoralization and anxiety

What I wish I knew
"Manager should have assigned tasks to other team members for knowledge transfer"
If I could tell you one thing
"Communicate concerns and request knowledge transfer before taking leave"
