I just spent Easter Weekend in tears because I fell into this trap again, volunteering my help to unappreciative people (my sister).


But I think it was the last time, I've slowly started setting my limits and boundaries, slowly but surely, but as you can guess from my post, I've been doing it one relationship at a time.


I don't try to fix people though, I just over extend myself to make everyone else happy, and obviously my relationships then become imbalanced.


So far, my relationship with my bf and certain friends have been addressed, now to work on family.


Anyway, I didn't mean to ramble, just wanted you to know I get it, even though my incessant need to help is not fostered by codependency.
