Sis, I need to talk to you about something you’ve probably just noticed. You’ve been chasing him. Initiating conversations. Making plans. Putting in effort. Reaching out. Pursuing connection. Doing all the emotional labor in the relationship. You got tired of it. Exhausted from always being the one to try. So you stopped. You stopped texting
Sis, I need to talk to you about the whiplash you’re experiencing. One moment, he’s all in. Texting constantly. Making plans. Showing interest. Acting like he can’t get enough of you. Talking about the future. Making you feel like you’ve found something real. You’re excited. You’re hopeful. You’re starting to invest. Then suddenly—he’s gone. Radio
Sis, I need to talk to you about the message you just got. He disappeared. Days turned into weeks. Weeks may be into months. He went completely silent. No explanation. No closure. No goodbye. Just… gone. And you moved on. Or at least you started to. You stopped checking your phone constantly. You stopped hoping
Sis, I need to talk to you about the crumbs you’re living on. He gives you just enough. Just enough attention to keep you interested. Just enough affection to keep you hoping.

Sis, I need to talk to you about the contradiction that’s probably driving you crazy. He acts as if he owns you. He’s jealous when you talk to other men. He wants to know where you are at all times. He gets upset when you’re unavailable. He monitors who you see and what you do.
Sis, I need to talk to you about the accusations he keeps making. You’re talking to someone. Maybe a colleague. Maybe a cashier. Maybe a friend. Maybe just being friendly and polite to another human being. You’re not flirting. You know you’re not flirting. You’re just existing in the world, interacting normally. But he sees
Sis, I need to talk to you about what’s happening to your support system. Think about your relationships before him. Your close friends. Your family members who care about you. The people who’ve always been there for you. The ones who know you, support you, lift you up. Now think about those relationships today. How
If someone is controlling your decisions in a relationship, it can slowly affect your confidence, independence, and sense of identity. Sis, I need to talk to you about who makes decisions in your life. Specifically: decisions about YOUR life. Your career. Your friendships. Your family relationships. Your appearance. Your schedule. Your money. Your body. Your
Sis, I need to talk to you about something deeply painful. You trusted him. You opened up. You shared something vulnerable: your fears, your insecurities, your past wounds, your deepest struggles. You gave him access to the tender, unprotected parts of yourself. And in that moment, maybe he seemed understanding. Maybe he held you. Maybe
