Starting Over Talk - Peer Coaching Support Site

I understand what you are saying. Some people are so ungrateful and can only think of themselves. When they are in need they will call upon you the first thing......you have helped them before and have a good heart. When it comes to something like you had written they then have no time.

I have a sister like that. She can only think about herself and is very ungrateful and selfish. She wants to complain about her job, her sexless marriage, how her life is so bad. When I needed someone to talk to she wasn't there for me. I think I got to "vent' for 2 min and then it had to be all about her.

It is so hard not to be uspset and so hard to walk away because you are family. I guess we just have to take it that we are good hearted people and no good deed goes undone.

Just try to understand that you are important and that you have to make your life go on with or without these people. I am not going to jump and the moment when she needs help. I am not a sounding board and have feelings also. Hopefully and I mean hopefully, and I'm not holding my breath, that they will understand that. They will just go to someone else who will listen!

Best wishes to you for making it back on your feet and not letting the worse get you down and out!!
