Ugh. It's so hard to be in relationships with folks who appear to take and take and yet don't reciprocate. Cindy still has a bit of growing up to do, it seems.

Such a tragic story. I can sense the difficulty in this situation - sympathy for Cindy because of the upbringing she had, no role models to help her make smart decisions, and a desire to trust family... But I feel like a hard rock these days because whilst I can feel sympathy and empathy for the situation, my desire to not be taken advantage of after so many years of feeling unappreciated tends to win out, and I find myself with very few people I'm willing to help out of the blue.
