Yes you guys are so right. In fact, in the midst of this thread, she has continued to bug me...so much so as to message me at 9pm at night while I was watching a movie. Fortunately when I told her I was busy she left me alone.
I do sort of see her trying to latch on and drain me. She posts very public things om Facebook about how ungrateful and cruel her family is and that makes me very uncomfortable. I have a ****** family too but I don't try and make a public case of it on Facebook.
I don't want to abandon her but I'm going to install some pretty strong boundaries.
