I've gotten too old and crotchety to be able to put up with even lovely, longtime friend emotional vampires. When a person just doesn't want to change, but wants to unload their stress on me due to THEIR choices, it's time for me to move on, I've decided. Life is just too short to stand under the crap dump truck, no matter how nice the driver. If you think about it, in a way, listening to this stuff over and over is basically enabling.
