I am an childhood abuse survior and I have slowly been making some friends in my real life and on the PC because I am able to trust easier.

Well I have this one online friend, who has issues like me, but It seems like I can never do enough, say enough, to support her. She gets angry at me when I don't measure up to her expectations. I feel I am being the best friend I can, but when she tells how angry she is because I don't so etc. etc., I feel very judged and hurt.

I feel I need to space from her, but i know that will probably hurt her as well, but I have learned from therapy, that you have to put yourself first to protect yourself. I want to help her, but now I fee pressured to do it in a certain way. I have a lot of responsiblities in my life and I feel she needs someone who is more available to her, I can't be everything to her in her life. I want to back down from her, she is getting too obsessive about me, I don't need that stress. But I feel gulity too. I don't know what to do. Any ideas?
