I know I asked you a bunch of questions but it was to get a feel for her and your needs. I have friends and family who, no matter what I'm going through, always want to talk about their stuff.

Since you value her friendship, can you say something like this to her:
There are times when I need to talk about my kids and only my kids. If you can give me that, I promise I will do my best to give you the same in return when you need it.
I've had to do that a lot over the last few years. I still talk with the friends and family that honor it, and the ones that don't, not any more.
