It's a damn shame that the people who take the most don't give anything back.

I've recently cut ties to to two people (a couple) that are like that. I've given them tons of my time and energy on many occassions, often on short notice and at personal expense, to help them. I've babysat for them repeatedly, helped them with back-breaking cleaning so that they could pass inspects. (both the co-op's annual inspections and the social worker inspection so they could adopt a child. They are slobs.) I have spent entire days cooking for them for big family parties. etc.

The few times I've needed their help they blew me off. So I recently just cut them off entirely and they think I'm being unfair and mean.

It is wonderful that you are able to be there for someone else, but you don't need users in your life. None of us do. There are other people out there who are more deserving of your friendship.

I hope the current issues pass or get resolved. :)
