long-term relationship, even when our inner-wisdom tells us it's time to let
go. At this point, we can choose let go and endure the intense pain of leaving

an emotional cancer. Until we wake up, one day and realize, we are buried so
deep in the dysfunction of the relationship that we scarcely remember who we
were and what we wanted and needed to be.”
― Jaeda DeWalt
