An excerpt from a comment I made today on Goodreads:


Being ungrateful is one of the attributes of being an arsehole. You do not just ignore and/or abandon someone who's dedicated so much of their time and effort to helping you, loving you, and has made such a difference in your life - has maybe even saved your life in so many ways. It is beyond heartless and selfish to turn your back on them; to just decide they're unwanted/inconvenient to you now; to throw them away without a thought for their feelings and needs. 

Sorry, I've been waiting for a chance to vent like this. I f$*^$%king hate ungrateful characters in fiction (and reality too). Really I just hate people who treat others (like those closest to them) like sh*^%t.
