Enough is enough

Protecting people can get very, very tiring. How do those over protective parents handle it? It seems some people are so concerned about other people getting hurt they never seem to realise the toll it takes on them. When does that become too much and end up destroying you?

People want to protect the people they care about, it makes sense, it's an instinct. You don't want to see someone you love hurt, low, down in the dumps, whatever. For the sensitive types when seeing this they themselves become down in the dumps. When is enough enough?

I'm pretty sensitive, I hate hurting people I care about and I hate seeing the people I care about in crappy situations. I don't like it, what can I say. But when do I draw the line? I can't stand around and feel for all the people in my life suffering, that takes such a toll on me. I end up staying in crappy relationships because I can't bare to see someone upset over a break up, I end up lending my money to my dad because I know he needs it. So, now that I've recognised this, how do I stop it? How do I just say enough is enough, fight your own battles and I'll fight mine?
