[quote=Anonymous] 1. Relationships are never 50/50 and what one person brings to it is very hard to compare to what the other person brings. 2. You should quietly modify your priorities towards her so that you're not jumping through hoops to save her all the time. This is the only way to wean her off without offense. I had to do this with my best friend. Same relationship, same low-esteem, etc. I ended up running an informal (and free!) summer camp for her kid and my kids one summer because she had not gotten her act together to line up childcare. She kept asking me for "one extra week, a couple more days." I was so exhausted it brought me to my senses, and after that I politely refused to help her at times when I preferred doing something else. She got the message and now has added a few more helping friends to her roster so that she doesn't need to rely on me all the time. Our relationship is on a much better footing. [/quote]
