Forming Healthy Friendships... Is it hard for others too?

I've been in therapy for the past 12 years dealing with all the damage

my BP nada caused, and while I've made great progress in areas of my

life like career, marriage, motherhood, and just general stability, the

one thing I can't seem to break out of is forming friendships with

really dysfunctional people. This is something I've talked to my

therapist about but she just suggests places for me to meet new people

and not how to break the cycle of dysfunction. I consistently make

friends with women that are either children of BPs or have some type of

severe emotional baggage they refuse to get help for. I end up becoming

their personal therapist and despite begging them to seek professional

help they choose to remain unhappy and bring me down with them. I

recently ended a relationship with my BEST friend b/c I couldn't handle

being hurt over and over but then got really depressed b/c it was like

losing a sister.

So I'm wondering if other children of BPs also have trouble finding

healthy friendships and if so, how do you deal with it?
