[quote=Anonymous]I have a sister like this. I love her, but had to create boundaries to protect my mental health. She would always deride me for not sharing what was going on with me, but when I shared, she would provide very unhelpful and unempathetic advice. She also would never share with me what was going on with her (though I didn’t push her). Sadly, I think one part of maturing is learning the difference between people you care about and like and those you trust with your truest thoughts and secrets. I didn’t fully understand this until my late 30s and after having been burned many times. Some people you have to keep at arms length to avoid being sucked into their negativity, drama or manipulation. It doesn’t mean they don’t have pure intentions, but their intentions ultimately don’t matter — what matters is their impact on you.[/quote]
