Lou, I feel your pain.

I had an ex-boyfriend who only cared about himself yet I helped him out time and time again. I realized I was being an enabler and stopped dealing with him. I missed him/felt terrible but it was truly better that I did it that way.

My mom? Jesus . . . I just can't talk to her much. It's too much trouble. She's an adult . . . I just can't give up my life for her "issues". I might be selfish but I like living my own life and making my own mistakes.
