I shared in one of her other stories, how close my own life shadowed Kan-chan, and how I got into toxic relationships as well.
What this author does so well is show the slow burn of how a co-dependent, toxic relationship with violence originates.
I am so glad that for both Kan-chan and Yumi that they got out of it. The only way to do it in extreme cases like this, is for one partner to walk away and keep walking.
As for myself, my most toxic relationship was with a guy who thought that by my old self harm marks I liked pain and forced me into a new world. I learned that it wasn't for me (being an M) bc lol I didn't listen well, and he'd turn violent on me for it regardless of safe word. Yes I know...
But *grins* it's made me into a caring Dom I am today, knowing and putting my partners needs first. I have a caring gf now, though with Covid that's on the rocks. Point is, I have changed for the better.










I love this! Comedy gold! The dark humor, is perfectly blended with the absurd narcissism of the main protagonist.
Just remember, if you are feeling suicidal; seek help.
