I'm glad I could help. Might I suggest that that you could get some books on codependency to read. A great one is called Codependent No More by Melody Beattie. There are also some great books out there about Boundaries as well by Henry Cloud and John Townsend.
Is this woman your direct supervisor, or a self appointed mentor type of person?
Thank you!! The school is paying her to provide the coaching. First of all though she was self-appointed and she has often blurred the lines. For example when she has tried to 'coach' me outside of coaching sessions and I have said 'we are not in coaching now!' she has said, 'Oh but I am saying this to you because you are my friend!'. And, on one occasion, 'because I love you!' What I would give to hear her say those things now...
I don't know whether to take anything she says seriously any more because none of the promises or resolutions she makes, materialize, and her past affirmations of friendship and love no longer seem to stand.
Have you had a satisfying friendship with someone with a saviour complex?
