Very thought provoking questions and viewpoints Kayleigh. I believe that the reality is, we all use one another in life. And that's really okay, because we use "stuff" all the time, to our benefit and we're grateful for it. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing. So sure, we use one another in a similar manner. I think the problems arise when we start to either "misuse" one another, to the point of some form of abuse (mental, emotional, financial, physical, sexual, verbal...) But that's just my humble opinion. Great story :-)
