I can't stop giving, eve n if it is just to remain silent!.
The worst times of my life have been when I have said to say "I can do no more for you, other than be here when you are ready!."
That is a hard thing to do, but even Angels have to be able to allow a person to make their own choices sometimes!.

You have to come to terms with yourself!. You have to realize that there is no guilt involved; you had done what you had to do!. And at that point, it was better for both you and the person reaching out that you did hold back, because there was nothing you could have done!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
It might be possible to be compassionate without getting to emotionally involved!. Maybe be empathetic but stay a little detached, try to observe your emotions rather live in them and find someone sympathetic who you can talk to!.

Sometimes a person can lean on you too much as a source for the strength they need!. It is in their best interest that you are not over-available!. How will a child learn to walk if we never let go of their hands!? They have to stumble and find their own sense of balance, and once they do there's no stopping them!. You give guidance and support, but you don't provide crutches!.

By listening to that person, and know that your heart has been felt, and even the smallest thing said has meant so much!. That you have made an impact!. Having faith all will be okay!. When you look in the mirror smile, and that person would be smiling back!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
I was 9 when I had my emotions surgically removed!.
Bring me all your bad stuff, dump it on me and walk away feeling free and light!.
I will then devour the bad stuff in your absence, happy in the knowledge that you are feeling good about life!. ;o)Www@Enter-QA@Com

Hm mm, not really!. I'm a pretty emotional person so it's useless to hold back!. I have used tough love on my brother, but I always still talk to him, I just won't let him live with me again!. It's hard, but I perservere in this decision!. :)~Www@Enter-QA@Com
