* HardTruthAesop: The game shows that it may be impossible to help reform [[spoiler: an alcoholic or abusive parent]] and the best thing you can do is turn your back on the toxic person and walk away from them forever before you're destroyed by them.
-->'''Caballero''': I heard these beautiful words from [my] therapist: "When someone wants to hit bottom, there's nothing you can do to stop them." When someone is self-destructive or destructive of others and you want to stop them, there's nothing you can do. They're looking for something there. They're getting something out of that destruction, and if you stay with them, you're gonna get destroyed. So the only thing you can do is let them go, and it is the most painful thing you can do in your life.
