Balada Malam Minggu: A dangerous person

I start to tell my kids about games that they have to refuse to play with friends/someone they know (and even strangers) because they might be dangerous. However, after they fall asleep, I end up thinking out late at night. Who is considered a dangerous person in my life?

It must be him.

The most dangerous person for me would be someone who neither truly loves me nor wants to let me go. They exist in a state of emotional indecision, holding onto me like a possession they're not quite ready to abandon, yet unwilling to give the genuine affection and support I deserve. 

This dynamic can be especially toxic, as they manipulate my emotions to maintain control over my feelings and my presence in their life, all while withholding real commitment. Ah, in a relationship with someone like this, I might feel constantly unsteady, as if I am being led down a path without direction. One moment they pull me close, offering a glimpse of warmth and connection, only to retreat just as quickly, leaving me feeling isolated and uncertain. They want me nearby, not because they treasure my presence, but because they fear the discomfort or loneliness my absence would bring.

I know this push and pull create an emotional cage where hope and confusion blur, and every step forward feels tangled with a sense of unease. To them, love isn't a place of shared comfort and growth, but a toll they wield-keeping you within arm's reach, yet always just of genuine intimacy's embrace.
