Today's OneWord: Parasite

He was like a parasite. He leeched onto everything I did - every activity, every passion, every circle of friends I fraternized with - and sucked all the blood and energy out of me every time I was in the house or out. I knew I had to let him go, but doing so was like pulling a tapeworm out of my throat with a pair of tweezers and absolutely no external medical assistance. If I was going to get rid of this soul eroder of a boyfriend, I would need some help.
