[QUOTE="firehorsewoman, post: 542045"] Thanks everyone. InsaneCdn is correct...I was seeking validation...wondering if I am being selfish although I knew in my gut that I am not. Its more like self-preservation than selfishness. I also do think the circumstances matter...it is not like she is a good friend that wants to come visit and spend time with me for the sake of a visit alone....I would accept a disruption of my life and coping skills for that. Rather I am just part of the free motel rotation that she has set up for herself. I was willing to help last year but now that it has become her permanent lifestyle (she would still be living here if it weren't for the man she is dating in the other state....she moved there to be close to him) I am no longer willing to help being that it affects me negatively. I forgot to add that she is single and has no children. She has no real idea what living my life is like. thanks again everyone! [/QUOTE]
