Truly appreciated reading this Michele. Sorry stepped away as was being distracted and wanted to truly focus on your advice. I could have highlighted the entire piece.

I’ve failed at setting boundaries numerous times in my life—I’m an easy target for being a dumping ground. And I don’t like at all to share my vents aside from 1-2 people, but soon realized exactly what you mentioned: I was a dumping ground and not a friend. Stings to write and admit.

Thanks for this piece!
