I was trying to ignore all this but I guess I can't. So I need to say publicly, I guess: Kent Parson and I had a relationship. It wasn't abusive. It ended for a lot of reasons and I'm not sure I even know all of them now 1/?

When I overdosed I believed that everyone around me would be better off without me. My parents, Kent, my other teammates. That's what mental illness does to you. I'm better now. I'm grateful for that. 2/?

It was a long time before I really believed that I mattered. That I really could be a good boyfriend, a good friend, a good teammate. (One of my friends is helping me write this, actually. Thanks, Shits.) 3/?

We were dumb kids and we couldn't even talk about what we were going through. We hurt each other (NOT PHYSICALLY, NOT ABUSIVELY). By the time we could have apologized to each other, it felt like it was too late. But maybe it isn't. Feels like we can't get past it without that. 4/

I'm so grateful to my friends and my family and my fiance. You can get better and it's okay to reach out for help. 1-833-456-4566 in CA, 988 in the US. I'm going back to talking about hockey and history. 6/6
