We teach people how to treat us. If we continue to let someone do something that bothers us and not speak up about it.. I mean like have a serious conversation and say " i will no longer help you.. (with x,y,z) I have helped you in the past and I feel like I am being taken advantage of and it makes me feel angry and resentful etc." We can't have expectations if we do not spell it out for the people involved. If they do not know your boundaries then they will cross them over and over. If we let the same behavior dominate the relationship without speaking up then we can't expect things to change.
