Truthfully, though, you DO have a lot to deal with in your own life. I can't help but wonder why you continue to engage when you seem to get little positive interaction from this person in return. And why you're so vested in their life. Is it possibly acting as a distraction to not dealing with your own stuff?

Thank you for responding i agree i think it is more than ADD even though she thinks she has out grown it. I thought so but she makes it sound like i blame her for my mums cancer.... It seems over the top to me.
I do indeed and i get told by A LOT of people to not make so much effort for her but i feel like she's never had someone that has wanted to be friends with her without using her or abandoning her. So i wanted to be different and just try to help her from having this repetitive pattern for the rest of her life. And i definately do it as a distraction from my mum cause it takes my mind off the situation and stops my mind from overthinking it. It is something fairly productive so i want to accomplish helping her manage her symptoms... After that i don't know if i will have the same motivation.
Thank you
Claire
