1: Just Walk Away

You’ve been in an abusive relationship with Explorer 6 for all these years. Now you’re finally starting to realize that the drinking isn’t going to stop and things aren’t going to get better. The long nights out with the “boys”, the strange charges on your credit card bills, the way he never listens to you and forgets to take out the trash. These are all signs. It’s time to walk away. It’s not going to get better, and there’s someone out there who wants to love you and take care of you.

He’s cute and he has a red bushy tail. Let him love you.
