I just had to dispense some tough love on someone I had been trying to help for years.
She didn’t really want the help. She only called me when she needed something and tried to manipulate me into helping her.
She needs to confront some things about herself and every indication from the many people who have tried to help her is that she doesn’t really want it as much as validation.
Every time she got really close to actually doing something that would help her, she’d bail on the people who were trying to help her.
Sometimes you just need to tell them the story of the little bird who waited too long to fly South for the winter.
