I'm a 39 year old female, lol, but you are right about everything else.

Sorry to hear you've encountered similar trials.

The hardest part is caring more about them than they do about you;

if you cut them out of your life, you're alone, while they still have each other...albeit in a toxic, codependent, manipulative relationship.

Apologies, though right on the young part

I know, it wasn't easy for me either. I had to constantly force myself to sever contact with Cthulhu-Bitch, but the eventual lifting of the weight that has slowly happened in the last few years has been indescribable. In a way I had to be quite selfish to save myself, but only because I eventually realised there was nothing to be done. Your deal is different, but still comparable in ways.
It's not gonna be easy, but it will become bearable in time.
