You are not

You are not a warranty
Don't expect to be treated as such
People either give you their best self immediately
Or they lose their friendship
If someone leaves you they leave you
Don't give them an opportunity to slither
Back into your life

You are not their parent
It is not your responsibility to look after them
Especially if it hurts or lowers your own self care
At some point you just need to
Walk away

You are not a punching bag
No one deserves or has the right to
EVER lay a finger on you
Even if they are struggling
