he’s had a long string of toxic relationships, so this fits in nicely. i don’t see him being at all physically abusive, but he can be emotionally draining and manipulative, especially when he’s not managing his meds. mostly then. and if he was using, he definitely wasn’t taking his meds. i’m fine with him being the one to get her hooked. that even makes a lot of sense with the age difference. did you have anything specific in mind for the messy break up?
