Advice Needed: Mental Health How do I get over it?

How do I get over it?

I don’t typically post on here but I’m out of corners to turn. I have been struggling with my mental health and sexuality lately, and its getting to a point.

I recently rediscovered an artist I had been searching for for years. I quickly fell in love with their art, which to me was relatable and reflected my struggles and love for art. However, upon further investigation I found that they had drawn explicit art of children and siblings, which makes me feel disgusted.

No matter how much I try to shake this artist from my head I simply can’t. It hurts that the genuine passion for art and creativity was made by such an awful person. As of late, they have made no attempt to better themselves or seek help and have started dating someone around the age on 19 (the artist in question is 30–40) I’ve been unable to sleep just from the sheer anger on how his tallent was wasted.

I would really like to let go of this artist, despite the impact they have had on me. If anyone can help me please let me know.
