Well, I think the best advice is how we need to protect ourselves and lower our expectations of our friends. In talking about this today I realize I can't expect much from my friend. I have always been the stronger one. It makes me sad. I could use a couple of strong friends. Maybe in the future....I will meet some.

This friend whines and complains too much. I will keep her as a more distant friend and draw the line and not let her complain so much at me. And I am also going to watch my own self and not complain too much to others.

Fini.
