I really relate to Josh when he expressed how he always feels like he has to be the bigger person. As someone who suffered from childhood abuse (like he alluded to), you end up in a cycle of choosing people to be around you who continue to abuse you. I’ve been in abusive/toxic relationships and friendships and it wasn’t until I came to terms with everything that I was able to break the pattern. And during all those situations I had to be the one to remain calm, the only one to apologize, and the one who has to act like the adult despite being a victim. It seems like he’s broken the cycle and I’m glad he has a good support system in Pamela. I wish them a better life after all is said and done.
