Quote by Fae Quin

“Because I’d known our relationship wasn’t healthy, yet I’d let him twist me up over and over just so I could feel gratitude on the days he decided to help me untangle the knots he’d tied. I was never enough for him. Never what he wanted. Always begging for scraps of attention, perpetually left empty.”

Which was…infuriating.”
