[QUOTE=dexter;5128093]I agree with Fuzzy. Don't compare your stuff with theirs. It is up to them to establish healthy boundaries and communicate them to you in a healthy manner. Some people may harm you along the way--cut those people off of your support list and seek others.

I just shared this in chat, I find it a good list because it is balanced between what we need and what our support people need to do and be aware of to keep the relationship healthy. See if you think it might be helpful to share with a friend.

Thanks. I feel like I don't want being my friend to be a job for them. I've had others who I've called on too much it seems and they find (uncomfortable) ways of not being around me. My ONE friend can't do it all for me and if my family gets involved, trust me, it will only make things worse...for me and them.
