I don’t know who needs to hear this, but the person you cut out from your life who was toxic? That was a good move. Distancing yourself from the individual who used you as an outlet for their trauma but never listen to your problems was a proactive choice. That individual you used to admire and had very many positive memories with but grew increasingly dependent on you is able to heal better now that you’ve cut them loose. And so will you. I am proud of you for removing toxic people from your life. There is a big difference between selfishness and self preservation, and you are doing the latter.
