Sorry to read this post (like so many of the others)
You have hit the nail on the head (!!) with this post.

Your account is accurate - & yes, as soon as you 'outlive your usefulness' you will be discarded

He mentioned love? He doesn't know how to - I feel sorry for 'the next in line' (aka "supply"), she has NO idea what kind of "species" she's dealing with. This "love" is conditional to need & use - which ISNT love. They are so masterful as mimicking life & emotions. The tragic thing is that they are down to nice people - & never to anyone like them. they hate themselves.

We all wonder why we put up, dont! its a slow boil ... try to recover & heal moving forward!
