RE: Living With Mindfulness: It is not Always About YOU!
In the case of my sister-in-law, the problem mostly was that my wife and I both have very busy lives... and didn't really have TIME to drop everything we were in the middle of in order to be front and center in her eternal chaos.
Naturally, we're both helpful people... when help is really needed; but not so much when it is mostly attention seeking... and disrupts our own flow. Think of it is this way: If you end up getting sacked from your own work because of someone else's constant neediness keeping you from doing your job properly... who's really helped by that?
Woah, that sounds really dire. Thats a tough one because its family and you can't just keep them out of your life. But if the person is not a child they should not become such a heavy burden for you guys. i wouldn't know what to do except tell her to get her own place. Come up with a good excuse .
