Hello Greenduck.
I can relate to having an "energy vampire" around you. For me, it is also a woman. She's beautiful, great brains, has real potential, but is a constant negative nancy buzzkill. Major victim mentality. It ends up canceling out all the good in her, to the point I just don't want any contact when she's acting that way. She's massively undervalued herself and her life is a shadow of what it could be as a result of all that mental toxicity.
No reason or interest to try to save people anymore, especially from themselves. You are your own person with your own life and issues, you aren't their psychiatrist, same conclusion I finally came to. Good insight.
