I'm very sorry for the weekend cliffhanger. If it's any consolation, I think this page offers much to discuss in the meantime. I mean, Rudy says a lot here. So I wanna hear what you're taking away from this.

You've only been leaving me alone for most of this year because my sister threatened you on Halloween, right? Because you're afraid of her.

Get over yourself. You were never on top. And someday, the shit you put everyone through is gonna come back to bite you.

And I don't care to either. I don't care how hard your life has been. Whatever happened, it's no excuse to act the way you do to everyone.

I quietly cope with depression from being hated by a good chunk of my family and peers just for who I am.

My dad is emotionally abusive, and cares so much more about his kids being straight than being happy, that he’s willing to literally torture us.

I suffered a breakup a few months ago I haven't been able to get over. And knowing she moved on doesn’t help either.

And I no longer get to see my sister everyday - the most important person in my world - thanks to you.

But you never see me beating anyone up. All of my friends are traumatized in some way too, and they all find a way to still be decent people.
