[quote=Anonymous]One of my kids has autism. One of my parents had dementia, the other is highly abusive. Husband was hospitalized with a life-threatening condition for 2 months a while back. There's more, but I just want you to know OP I get it from both sides. I don't have a lot to give, but I also don't really vent to friends. Friendships are reciprocal and I try to be mindful of this and not burden anymore. There are times when some of my relationships have felt draining and there was nothing coming back. I had to distance with empathy. She should be asking about you and she should understand you have plenty going on. If you find she just has no interest or minimizes anything you share than perhaps step back a bit with empathy. You have to take care of you. I rarely ever shut a door on anyone metaphorically, but I cannot manage one-sided relationships anymore with anyone who I didn't bring into this world. [/quote]
