Dear Savanah:

You asked: “Should I be reaching out as support?” My answer: no, you already did, and you did so adequately.

If the lashing out you mentioned in your original post did not include you verbally abusing him at the time, when you found out that he deleted the pictures, if it was only you voicing your concern, I am thinking that maybe you’ve been very careful all along to express no discontent to him whatsoever, no sign of anger, and when you did just a bit, you thought you did a terrible thing. Any truth to my thinking here?

One thing for sure, like you wrote, you shouldn’t be “his scapegoat for his anger”.
