@CLOUD It's unhealthy and past doesn't change anything! It doesn't matter if TJ does care about him, his actions don't represent it and that can mess with a person. When someone says one thing but then their actions are completely different, that causes extreme mental issues. I'm still trying to get over my experience with that and it been years! I get scared to go into friendships and relationships because even if someone assures me they love me or do enjoy hanging out with me, I still don't trust it because I cherry pick the slightest actions because I'm scared I'll get hurt. Ian is a lot like me when I was struggling and I hate seeing him keep going back because I feel like I can connect to him. If the author does use the classic examples of a victim of such manipulation, then Ian will have many of the issues I have stated.
