[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 330920, member: 1157"] This is a tough one. I'm always tempted to "help" friends like this .. to give them books, talk to them about boundaries/detachment/not enabling, etc. But it can be exhausting. It depends onthe friendship and the individuals involved, of course, but sometimes, I have to simply remove myself from those situations and not try to "fix" those people too... it can become another kind of codependency. I have enough dysfunctional people around me already. [/QUOTE]
