Hym "Are you? Really? Or is that a thing you want me to ascent to? Because you are trying to dictate to me what I have to do and I'm not going to let you guide me into a life. That is not how you being in charge is going to work. Like, you're trying to play God and the form it's taking is a life swap between me and my less intelligent but equally psychopathic wannabe 'single white female'. And it's not going to result in anything that is good for me or anyone else because I'm just going to resort to violence (inevitably) and kill myself. So, stop trying to do this. I am the 1 who decides whether or not the thing I know you are trying to do to me is going to work and my decision is 'No.' I've decided that it isn't. Unless you're trying to get me to murder my own parents or somebody's kids (which is like what happened to some of the other ones you to whom you have done this and are covering up). And my decision is final. Just like what is going to happen to the person you tried to let 'single white female' me."
