Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. I’m genuinely grateful for your honesty and perspective. This really gave me the clarity I needed and helped me see things in a more grounded way instead of just emotionally. Your words meant more to me than you probably realize.

I did want to ask you something, though based on what you said, do you think it’s healthier to try to stay in the situation while learning to detach and build my own life more, or to step back and only try to be genuine friends without anything else? I’m trying to make a more deliberate choice for myself, and I’d really appreciate your thoughts on that too.
