Have you ever ghosted someone? I’m in a dilemma. A little history. Many many years ago I met a friend on MDT. We emailed each other for a long time. We only met face to face a few times.

I would start things off by telling the truth and letting everyone know exactly how you feel. Therefore always keep it real with God and Jesus Christ as well as to other people and yourself.
No, Jodi, not "ghosting," you're protecting yourself from unneeded emotional stress or hurt. I'd be very leery about someone harping on you with multiple texts a day. You do what you need to keep yourself safe.

I would only set goals for myself and my child when he was little... People need to set their own goals and intend to do their best to meet them with support and encouragement, of course.
Yup. Boundaries are precious once you realize you're allowed to have them. All good suggestions above. I've let people know I'm not available because of limited emotional resources, so don't count on me for support. And I mean it.
