I learned a lot.
1) it's okay to be correct in an argument and wait for an apology even if it's hard.
2) You can love somebody but not be able to help them. sometimes you have to protect yourself and not invest yourself in somebody that can't be helped. it doesn't mean you don't care.
3) I am an eternal optimist.
