OMG! Thank you for writing this, I really needed it. My mom is my emotionally needy friend and I feel so mean when I get mad at her for sucking all the sympathy right out of me, but it is exhausting. Just last night she had me drop everything and drive for an hour, on a school night, to fix her closet rod that crashed down due to her excessive clothes collection. Is this really an emergency? Why can't your apartment maintenance man fix it? She is very controlling too which makes me more mad. I will set some new boundaries and be the happy daughter, thanks again:)
