“I’m sure lots of people would do the same thing.” “You’re not lots of people. You are someone who was treated for depression that was mainly driven by a guilt complex. You will not be okay if your feeling guilty has anything to do with you staying with Eli. You won’t be okay either if you break off things with him but can’t get over your guilt.” He groans and reaches for my hand. “Come on, Jo.
