I was so stupid for giving someone the power to do this to me. Never again will I allow myself to be vulnerable to a person, whether people refer to it as "trust" or "opening up" or any other name. And the sad thing is, this didn't happen because I am a poor judge of character; it happened because when life gets very hard, people won't hesitate to crush those they care about if it's convenient for them.

Anyway, I truly learned my lesson.
