I received your warm and comforting hug and I'm grateful for it! His darkness won over the goodness, indeed. It has been ages I didn't lose my temper and feel my energy drained the way it happened during the incident!

He started showing his true colors when I was open about my decision to exclusively supporting animals, and started saying a firm NO to his shocking requests like cooking for him while he could provide the groceries, as if my time and energy were irrelevant (it happened many times to give him some of my food, and he knows I cook only once a week cauz I hate it and only conditioned myself to eat healthily)! He even dared tell me, while seemingly jocking, you need more productivity so you may give me a thousand or 2! 😧 My answer came delayed, "oh I don't recall adopting you as my own kid! Plus, you would be such a greedy one!"

He's lazy, earning more than many people here, but he never thinks twice to exploit anyone in any possible way. I need to admit I'm guilty of having allowed him into my world in the first place despite my intuition! I learned my lesson once and for all!
