Hi everyone. I have something more serious to share today. This was hard to write and is scary to post, but I wanted to share my experience.

ugh I can't wait til I can have a cat again
Detailing the insidious ways this stuff plays out, including your own doubts, is really admirable and undoubtedly what someone out there needs to hear.
I don't wanna just blast it onto my feed if that's not what you're looking for. Wishing you all the best.
You’re very brave for sharing this, sending support and care
You are such an inspiration, I hope this helps you recover as much as it helps others 💙
I hope you know this deep down: P is the ruiner. It's so easy to for a person speaking up to feel like a problem, but the problem is P's actions & abuse. You deserve to be & feel safe, and to exist in games with full exuberance
Friends can be evil & it's a mind fuck but...
You're 100% correct on Every Single Thing you're questioning yourself on in the blog. Own your view, because it is righteous.
Two things FWIW
1) If anyone thinks NBD, they're wrong and the problem.
2) Your strength shines through in this post.
I came across your work when deciding if I could really pursue writing music for games, and it was so inspiring and encouraging that it helped solidify my choice.
So glad you won’t let anyone keep you from doing your thang.
I admire your courage in sharing. Hopefully this will be helpful to others in a similar circumstance. Mad props 👊
as my own therapist has told me, opening yourself to personal healing is a harrowing and radical act
As someone who has also been bad at setting boundaries - while our experiences were certainly different, I know that feeling in the pit of my stomach all too well. I hope that you never have to deal with this person again.
People who don't respect boundaries are not friends. I don't care if they donate millions to charity. Boundary pushing = incredibly shitty and disrespectful. Glad you've cut P out.
