“If your friend is neglecting her family in order to do these things for other people, her priorities need to be reassessed. Quickly. “

Yes, she is messing up on her priorities. I know this cuz she’s my sister. While we’re really close, and I understand her “need to be needed”, I can not for the life of mine get her settled down. And I’m watching her niceness slowly kill her and it’s killing me too. People are really taking advantage of her, and she has so many people pulling her from all directions it makes me sick to watch. She literally bends over backwards to anyone who calls her name. While it is admirable and all, she doesn’t know where to toe the line. I don’t want her to learn the hard way!! I want to help her now before her life screws up.
