"Having a baby really changed you, didn't it?" Kurt asked. The question was quiet, and he knew it was extremely, extremely out of the blue and would probably throw her for a loop. But there was something telling him that it was a vital key of their past that needed to at least be touched upon, because it was that whole thing that spurred most of his vitriol towards her over the years. How much she had hurt Finn when she cheated on him and got pregnant to Puckerman. "I don't think you ever really found your feet with anything after that. Not that I can particularly judge on life events impacting heavily and changing you. It was pretty much a complete domino effect of shit that led me into the mess I'm still in today."

He had to pause and take a deep breath, glancing away for a moment while he struggled with his emotions. "I know guilt trips and pity parties are an easy ride to get on, Rachel, but I can relieve you of the fact that my condition now isn't your fault. It wasn't anyone's fault. People at school made the fight of it harder for me, but no one caused it. It sounds to me like you have a lot of your own demons that maybe fuelled the way you ultimately responded to situations that shouldn't have been nearly the battle you created them to be. You and me never needed to be enemies. We could have actually been friends, but you were so determined to throw everyone under the bus for your own success and I resented that. I just wanted my own chance to shine, but it was impossible. What were you overcompensating for? Or have you never been able to figure that out?"
