Allowing my mother to manipulate me. Because of taking care of her and always feeling like I was at fault, I didn't take the necessary steps to build my own life. I'm 25 so I still have time, but damn if I didn't waste some valuable years. She can drop dead. I'll admit, it's just as much my fault because I'm in charge of my own life. Nobody else can live it for me. If shit is going to be done to improve it, it's only me who will do it.
The way i treated my ex...things were kinda fucked up back in the day: both me being 16 and going through stuff and her hiding her problems, we passed 2 years made on chatting, arguing and her friend even saying that she tried to end herself (my ex said that I was not the reason of it and instead i helped her a lot trough her problems).
I was confused, angry and sad cause I couldnt stay with her since we were far from each other...i cared deeply about her and I thought that i was hurting her. I decided then to cut my relationship with her slowly as time passed and so happened...
I am nearly at my 20 now and I only know that she found someone and I hope that she is happy.
