It is very easy to give too much of myself to people...but toxic relationships are bad for us all and we need to do what we can to separate from them, or build needed walls. My most toxic relationship is with my mom....hard to close that door, so I have high walls to do my best to protect myself.
Resentment is a vile emotion, it eats you. I hope you find the release switch soon.

Amen, and I know the feeling. Cheers Dana!!
I think too many of us know this feeling!
Sadly, this happens way too often to good generous people.
I had a similar experience many years ago with someone I helped...I was taken advantage of and it took me awhile to recover.
Hammer, yes it does, and I'm not even always good and generous!
Palm Spring Savant, the problem wth my situation is that I'm still in it and won't recover until I'm out of it.
Resentment is a tough one to get past- hard to cure...
I don't know the situation from which this message is derived, so I'll be careful not to through out blind advise.
My 20/20 advise is that today and everyone after it are opportunities to start over.
Something I tell myself as much as anyone else.

Buffalodickdy, tuer words were never said!
Jeff B, thank you! Today and everyone after it are opportunities to start over should really be a motto for everyone.
Sassy, ever the "glass half full" person that I am, I will find that switch!
Find yourself and lose the asshole.
I don't think I'll ever be quoted for that one...but you deserve so much better than what you're getting.
You have tons of support here and you're a strong woman. Go get what you deserve!
I realized not too long ago that I had lost myself. It's easy to get swept up in the role of "wife" and "mother" and leave everything else behind.
I'm still digging out, hopefully some day I'll find myself again.
I'm sorry you feel that way.
=(
It is a New year....
Things can only get better.
