“stayed in a toxic relationship despite warnings”
What Actually Happened
I stayed in a toxic relationship with my fiancé, who made me feel responsible for his emotional stability. I was the adult and the fixer, while he was my child/project. He had me on a pedestal, and I was constantly trying to keep him stable, even when I was feeling suicidal.
What I wish I knew
"I wish I knew how to set boundaries and prioritize my own emotional well-being."
