You empathize with her pain. Maybe your therapist is telling you your friend is manipulating you? You might want to discuss what your therapist means by "abuse" so you have a clear understanding.

yes..... i know, this is THE biggest issue in my therapy right now. boundaries are hard. but i know NOT having them is worse for me, and certainly doesn't help anyone else either.

thanks for the links! i think i might want to get that book for a bit of further reading.
