(((sabby))) Thank you so much for your post. After giving myself some cooling off time I've come up with what I have to say to my friend and set boundaries. I will be chatting with my friend soon as hard as it is. I have to get rid of the feeling that it's either a friendship or I stand up for myself. I can't blame my friend for 'taking advantage of me' if I don't speak up to begin with.

Thank you for your post.
