Best approach to X? 36.1-15
I have a connection that has drained me all my life.
I have nursed this person through depressions etc etc but when I myself need aid, they are no use to me at all, and worse they can be unbelievably selfish and demeaning to me. I have been keeping them at bay but I keep getting requests for meeting up. It's masked as concern about me, but I know from experience they are the one looking for something. I am so utterly fed up. They are older and have had authority over me since I was young. I always take responsibility for my life experiences knowing I am part of every relationship. But do I owe someone who is selfish anything? I bet they are just going through a lonely period and so I have become their focus. Appeals to family bonds, togetherness, life being short are all guilting me in to reconnect.
Help.
