That explains a lot. You bonded your soul to hers, and now it's bleeding inside from being ripped away.

That makes a lot of sense.

Exactly. Their interpersonal dynamic is/has become clearly dysfunctional and has only led to a toxic situation. Pursuing that dynamic, even in a non-romantic context, is not going to lead to anything different. Besides that, she's a heroin addict. You can't save an addict from themselves and any compassion you give will not provide any real, tangible help for her and certainly none that would counteract the harm that continuing to associate with her would.

Compassion for an ex-lover who's life is in shambles is perfectly understandable and natural, but helping a wounded tiger can easily end up with you mauled to death.

Batlord, I did not know you possessed such wisdom. This is a compliment, not a scathing critique.

This is all true. I know from experience. That girl can only help herself and if Ki gets involved she's only going to use him to get what she needs. Do you know how many promises my brother made to me only to break it as soon as he got what he wanted? I lost count.

Not true. Most addicts are disenfranchised individuals who feel disconnected from society. They use the drugs as an escape. By simply lending a little compassion can help.

I wasn't meaning to be dick. It's just that Ki has been a whiny pussy, we all have **** we are going through, he's constantly whining. So no, having emotions doesn't make you the pussy. It's how you portray them.

Edit: I mean that in the nicest way possible. We all have moments when we are whiny pussies.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

False. You may know some unique cases but every single person I know who has used heroin has taken advantage of the kindness of others and I've know a lot of heroin users.
