Reacting to people relying on you

[The People]

Thanks! Have been backing off a bit. Spent a night at a friend's house last weekend, pet sitting. I didn't explain where I was going or that she could text f she needed anything. I still help her out but not as much. And when she asked if I needed gas money I told her I used the refund from something I returned to the store for her. She was rather stunned over the whole thing but ah well.
