Gonna get it out. There’s a person who I used to love with all my heart, to whom I gave *so* much. That person decided I was trash and threw me away because I told them *calmly and fairly* that certain behaviours were hurtful to me, and they didn’t like the criticism.

Until this person grows strong enough to feel unthreatened by criticism and the suggestion of imperfection, they will never allow themselves to empathise with me, or with anyone else who has criticised them.

So I guess I’m feeling powerless, vilified and worthlessly tossed aside, valued less than their personal pride.
