[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 251251, member: 2315"] I am sorry you are down. it really hurts to feel invisible. Stop doing things for others and start asking for them to do things for you. That will get their attention! Seriously though, I asked myself this same question and I came up with an answer of sorts. People who willingly give of themself attract people who are takers like moths to a light. The only way to protect onself is to draw clear and strong boundries. It isn't easy but maybe by employing a "do to get" policy would be helpful. If people don't give back you stop giving. If doesn't work at first stick to your guns. Even if they don't start giving back at least you will no longer be giving out and getting nothing in return. -RM [/QUOTE]
