ok get that.
However, when she cries around me, what do I do? I can’t just walk away? I accept that she doesn’t want help, so I won’t give her it. But I need t set a boundary that her problems aren’t my problems. I guess I need to accept also that she cannot support me in the emotional way I wish, so I need to stop expecting her too and seek it elsewhere (friends etc). However, also in this situation she brought the problem to me, I feel. By me asking her if she wanted to talk about the fact I was speaking to my ex boyfriend I gave her the opportunity to share with me her thoughts & feelings, but she didn’t, instead she jibed about me saying “practice what you preach” this built up anger and annoyance inside of me, what should I have done, walked away instead of engaged? Is it me doing something wrong? Am I engaging in something I shouldn’t be?
