It makes sense to leave, but it also seems like the overall sentiment would be more positive given the “it paid my rent for many years” part.

You rarely leave with a positive sentiment when you felt trapped and abused in the relationship.

Slavery: one party makes you pick cotton or you aren't allowed to eat or sleep.

Not slavery: one party makes you supply widgets or you aren't allowed to eat or sleep. Another party gives you widgets for picking cotton.

We should all be happy to participate in the not slavery society, right? We should all feel great because we aren't slaves.
