“You stood there looking like a victim.”
That sentence changed everything.
Because in that moment I understood something important.
He truly believed other people were responsible for the consequences of his choices.
Nothing was ever his fault.
Not the drinking.
Not the gambling.
Not the insults.
Not the violence.
Not the humiliation.
Not even unemployment.
Someone else was always responsible.
And I was tired of carrying responsibilities that belonged to him.
