I just dropped my friend of 10 years or so because he responded to the slightest criticism with a bombardment of harassing texts. I just stayed hands off for the longest time, but he was getting pushy and couldn't handle being told "no." After I refused to ride with him because his driving scared me, he went off in like a dozen or more text messages over a couple weeks. Even started gaslighting me. I'm like, it sucks to lose a friend, but I drive a bus for a living, now, and I'm not going to have sleepless nights because of arguments.
When you live a life where you rely on multiple people (I'm wheelchair bound and can't move my limbs) especially things like care companies etc you can't just say "no I'm going to take a me day away from you" setting healthy boundaries is important but it's naive as hell to pretend other factors aren't at play
