Long Distance Involvement

I know better than this, I'm too smart for this - and yet I do it every time. I get involved with difficulties with people in another state - and most of the time, when I do this, I'm the one that ends up getting the shit.

Case in point (without mentioning names): I know this person, this family - that seems to always be fighting in one way or another. There are three members of this family that I'm particularly close too - and I HATE it when they don't get along with each other... because it's me that they call and bitch to. I hate getting involved - but sometimes I have to... now I'm involved with something that's just so outrageous that it's not even funny. One person was accused of something he did NOT do, and I'm fighting for him. I don't care how it goes with the other two people - but he's an innocent, and I am not going to let him go down. Total crap, and yes, I'm feeling two ways about it - I'm regretting getting involved at all, but glad too, to be on his side about the whole thing...

So yeah, great holiday start huh?
