Once upon a time when I was in high school, things in my life weren’t going very well, in fact, things were downright disastrous, but I hid my problems well. Friends did not know that my life was really crumbling around me, nor did they know that I was unhappy in my relationship that was in for four years. No one truly knew what went on when no one was looking, nor did they believe me after everything was said and done. Mr. Man–who I finally left after becoming strong enough to realize I needed some self-respect–was more believable and charming because of his “I-can-do-no-wrong” looks and seemingly innocent personality; everyone believed his story over mine even after he stalked me for two years AFTER the relationship!

I just hope she doesn’t realize too late what an emotional and sometimes physically abusive b*st*rd he is. Kids, don’t date the sullen depressed type, it’s not good for you or anyone else.
