Wow, Wildfire!

What an intense situation. You can be very proud of yourself for recognizing your limitations and placing boundaries.

Mental illness or not, some people just like to concentrate on the problem, not the solution. Sounds like this person used this an a coping strategy that really is destructive to her and those around her.

Hopefully, someday she will realize this. I'm sorry she hurt you, you obviously did not deserve it.

Pat yourself on the back.
