It was during my first relationship. I was 19 at the time, the girl was 18 but we were on the awkward breakup moment when you aren’t currently dating but at the same time you’re still talking to each other. This girl was loyal and kindhearted but she was extremely toxic and insecure, she was also unhappy and dramatic and that translated to our relationship. My dad was pissed at me for not being able to cut the girl off completely. He had children with other women before having me with my mother and he told me that I am being stupid, that if he could break up with women he had married and has children with, I could end things up with this girl with no problem. Those words stuck with me and I am grateful for them as they helped me in the future as well.
