I don't appreciate you putting this on me. I resent you telling me that my reaction to "a thousand cuts" is the problem rather than the people doing the cutting.

I appreciate that you're trying to wrap your message in kindness, but it doesn't come across that way. It comes across as you telling me I'm not strong enough or good enough, and you are dead wrong about that.

I received your message as a personal insult, and I demand you do better.
