For about a year and a half I was very emotionally dependent on T. It wasn't hard to admit, but trying to break away from it was the difficult part. I think in some sense I still depend on her but in a different way; I depend on her to listen to me when I'm struggling with something, and that's kind of about it. T is now more someone who mostly just hears me vent and cry or praises me on how I got through a particular situation in my own. I found that my life is a lot less exhausting now that Im not solely dependent on her to regulate my emotions.
