Why do you feel sorry for me?
As far as I am aware, and I may be wrong, my parents did not advise old flame to leave. They assumed that a young lad with his whole life ahead of him, would realise that there were plenty more fish in the sea. My ol' dear did say that they expected him to run to the hills. They would have had no sympathy for me and made me feel like I didn't deserve someone who wouldn't leave after I had had a mental meltdown. They won't admit to me if they said: we don't blame you if you don't stick around or run to the hills. But that was their attitude.
