I'm very glad you've overcome it and in time I hope it's just the past, entirely. I can relate to much of what you wrote and I'm currently going through my version of it all. I too, feel like a puppet on strings that is not allowed to have my own life separate from her.

I've self-isolated and detached myself from frenemies in over abundance as well. They've always fed off of my positivity or support and alienated me when there was a sense that I ever needed it in return. So, I can relate greatly. Especially to your latter statement of forever being single to avoid all of the turmoil.

I'm trying to see all of this as a blessing in disguise, perhaps that should be applied to you as well. :)

Try to stay hopeful, yeah? :P
