Thank you

I appreciate all the comments I got about my previous question.
Been hitting a low point lately and if you want the short notes:
I have a character (3 guesses and the first one doesn’t count) that was pretty much abandoned by the original owner after we had our falling out. I cannot get rid of the character for more reasons then I can possibly name, but I have the proof and chat history that clearly states I have full rights. I got flagged on DA for posting said character a few times for copyright issues, but after showing the DA admins the proof, it was ultimately dropped.
I drew this character for more than a decade and I cannot bring myself to get rid of it. The history is too intwined with mine and apparently, I ruined it for the original owner thus why it was abandoned. Apparently I destroyed something about it that made it special. Cannot…figure out for the life of me how. I probably did it more justice then the OG did forty times over. But that’s just me being angry and hurt by the accusation.
I tried to apologize and rebuild the friendship but it was quite obvious that they would rather sink lower into their own mental crisis than anything. I could rant on and on for hours on this because I tried to shovel the idea that I’m this horrible person who traumatized and destroyed them…when all I ever wanted was them to find happiness and I was willing to help however I could. My words went right into a brick wall and sat there. All I have left of the good memory is this character. It stood for everything that was amazing about that friendship. I gained so much after the loss but it’s still a bitter and harsh blow.
I wish it never happened and ended the way it did. And it hurts to see how this person changed so drastically. A lot of people were hurt in the end. And it wasn’t really worth it.
I tried to bring hate about into my heart but it was always snuffed out due to the importance of the character I draw. The story I am building around it and the new characters that are coming alone. I will make progress out of the ashes of this. And hopefully you all will be patient with me as I learn to move on.
I appreciate you all for your support, kindness and patience.
I will get through this. I can get through this
