So no update - all this help and now nothing. Makes you wonder why we bother trying to help sometimes
I SO associate with this feeling, you feel totally 'used'. Although I understand ankietyJoe's statement (and in essence agree with it) I just wish we knew in advance those who are worth engaging with and those who aren't. I think that it speaks volumes about the OP and their attitude to other people, a LOT of growing up to do to become more emotionally intelligent.
