You are just a prop in her life, Cody. You are there to help her work through things. That's great; one problem. I am not a dishrag. I do not serve as a free form of therapy. I am not just a service to help girls learn about themselves. I have feelings. I get attached. I want reciprocation. I want affection. Sometimes I'm the one who needs help. Sometimes I am not just satisfied with knowing I helped. I am not your valet. I am not your counselor. I am not your validation on demand. I cannot even fathom why you think can just take. It's because I can't give, Cody. If you can't give, why do you think it's ok to take? I will not always be ok. I won't always get over it. I won't just understand why you can't be there for me. I am not just a rock to be your stability. I am not just a blanket to give you comfort. I am not a flipping dishrag.
