It's hard, huh?

I don't know about any of you, but it is so hard to leave a relationship that is like this. I have always done everything for this person, and I try to get away, but I always end up feeling selfish or that I am a bad friend. Anyone else like this?

Caring for yourself is NEVER selfish. If someone is sucking you dry, you must do what you can to take care of yourself. Keep in mind that you cannot care for others if you're not caring for yourself. :)

Just wanted to let everyone who replied so far that I read and thought about all you had to say. Thank you all for writing. It helps to know that others are going through similar things. Hope you all have the strength to get past all you are dealing with. Take care of yourselves. =]

right on agentsmith.

It's hard to start over and, I dont want to.

But the YING of "whats done is done" has a YANG,..Just because whats done is done, does not mean someone didn't get really hurt, and things are going to change.

I had to make the change, and family coworkers and friends have all lent a helping hand, (wheather I wanted it or not at the time) as well as my friends here @ DS.
