I don't disagree, but the advice I always get is so black and white. Basically, leave your friend to solve their own problems, as if that's a good outcome for anyone. How do I keep helping my friend through the toughest time in their life, without it breaking me too? Signed, filling my chalice, without being callous.

Yes, including how they rely on the people around them, people like you.

It's also about adjusting those boundaries over time and always revisiting them. Dr. Margolis is really big on this. She's taught me a lot about this aspect of boundaries. With some people, in some circumstances, at certain moments of your life, you might get super involved.

With other people, in different circumstances, when you maybe don't have as much time or energy or they respond in a way that changes things, maybe you don't get as involved. Or your involvement changes depending on the quality of the relationship, the nature of the challenge they're going through, what this person is expecting of you. There's no one template here, but it can evolve over time.

And that's part of what is confusing about boundaries. But that is also what makes them effective, that they can change.

Yes. One of the best things I've learned about boundaries over the years, I think I've shared this on the show before, boundaries, when they're handled well... are actually what allow us to be close with people.

And that is what she struggles with. Like she said, if this friend, for example, killed themselves because she didn't try and help them, the toll would be astronomical. And I'm so glad she included that word in her letter because she's already on to the problem here. What she is doing for this friend and the stakes of not playing this role for this person are so high.

Now she's responsible not just for solving this person's problems, but for literally keeping them alive.
