Grande Reportedly 'Liked' A Very Different Type Of Photo After The News Broke

The transition out of a relationship is never easy, whether you're a worldwide pop sensation or not!

According to Page Six, Ms. Grande reportedly 'liked' a post from psychotherapist, Terri Cole. This post is reportedly one of "several" posts from Cole's account.

The post reads, "Never again will I be in a relationship with someone I fear" written in pink text.

Cole, who is also an author, gave details of her own backstory with the notion.

She wrote, "In my twenties, I was in a codependent relationship where I had emotional fear of my partner because they were jealous and possessive. I had my 50% of what was going on in this relationship because I was being codependent with them, but I still had fear and seemed to endlessly walk on eggshells," in the post's first paragraph.

The post continued, "After that relationship ended, I vowed: never again will I be in a relationship with someone I fear. That was an important internal boundary for me, and I held to it. Of course, my own downloaded blueprint played a part in this. My mother, my sisters, and I were all afraid of my father. We walked on eggshells around him because we didn’t want to do anything to inspire his disapproval."
