Good day. I am the place of peace.
Providing assistance to a close friend requires significant energy and time, in addition to addressing one's own personal matters. The limited availability of resources may lead to feelings of exhaustion and helplessness, particularly when considering the potential termination of support.
The information available from the text is insufficient for a comprehensive understanding of the situation. Additional questions may be necessary to gain further insight, and the researcher may even accompany the subject in their search for answers.
From the description provided, it can be inferred that you are assisting your best friend in navigating family conflicts. However, the specific circumstances remain unclear.
Firstly, it can be reasonably assumed that assisting a friend in resolving familial conflicts is not a straightforward process.
It is unclear what one's response should be when a friend requests assistance. Is it appropriate to offer immediate assistance, or should one hesitate and consider the implications of rejection due to the nature of the friendship?
Alternatively, is it possible that in your subconscious mind, the idea of "rejection" simply does not exist, and are you instead concerned about the potential negative consequences of rejection?
The above represents a hypothesis. If it is inaccurate, please provide the correct information.
Secondly, it would be beneficial to gain a more detailed understanding of the other person's character. It would also be advantageous to ascertain whether the two individuals are able to communicate openly and honestly about their thoughts, feelings, and needs.
Thirdly, the description states that the subject is contemplating the possibility of continuing to provide assistance to the individual in question, as the situation has not yet reached a point where the subject is experiencing personal harm. However, it is evident that a significant amount of energy is being expended on matters pertaining to this individual, which is causing the subject to feel somewhat fatigued.
"I am also somewhat embarrassed to admit that I have terminated the relationship."
From your statements, it is evident that you possess a kind, warmhearted, and sentimental disposition. When a friend sought your assistance, you did not decline. It is reasonable to conclude that you genuinely desire to provide him with aid.
Initially, it is likely that you did not anticipate the extent of the follow-up required, and as time progressed, you became increasingly involved, which also impacted your ability to manage your personal affairs. Presently, you appear to exhibit a sense of being unable to extricate yourself from a complex situation, accompanied by a particular emotional state.
I would like to inquire as to what your genuine thoughts are at this moment. If you persist in providing assistance, what sort of effect will it have on you?
If you were to assign a rating on a scale of 1 to 10, what would be the resulting score?
If you were to cease this process, what difficulties would you anticipate encountering? If you were to rate yourself again on a scale of 1 to 10, what score would you give yourself?
It may be beneficial to find a quiet place, clear one's mind of complex thoughts, and engage in a period of focused introspection. This could involve asking oneself: What are my true thoughts at this moment? What are my needs?
One must consider whether they possess the requisite willingness and courage to express their needs and whether they are capable of assuming responsibility for their decisions.
One's own perspective on one's problems is the most authentic and reliable, as it is shaped by direct experience and emotional investment. Consequently, the solution to one's problems must be found within oneself.
Upon seeking assistance at the platform to gain insight regarding your confusion, it is evident that your self-awareness and inclination towards self-growth have been duly activated. Rather than evading the issue, you have demonstrated a resolute commitment to confronting it directly. This is a commendable approach, and you are a paragon of resilience in navigating life's challenges.
It is possible that, at this juncture, you have already reached a conclusion, yet there may still be a residual degree of uncertainty and concern. It is, after all, inherent to the human experience that life is comprised of uncertainties, and the optimal means of validating these is through action.
Action will yield the requisite answer.
If a decision has been reached, the next step is to take action.
I wish you the best of luck.

I totally get what you're going through. It's tough when your own tasks pile up while helping someone else. Maybe it's time to set some boundaries and communicate openly with your friend about how you feel.
It sounds like you've been juggling a lot lately. Have you considered talking to your friend about taking a step back and focusing on your needs for a bit? It's important not to neglect yourself.
Balancing both your affairs and your friend's is challenging. Perhaps you could suggest that he starts handling more of his matters remotely, reducing the burden on you. This way, you can still support him without being overwhelmed.
You've clearly put in a lot of effort to help your friend. It might be worth proposing a gradual withdrawal from these tasks, ensuring a smooth transition where he can start managing things himself again.
I understand you don't want to hurt your friend's feelings by ending your help abruptly. Maybe you can find a middle ground, like offering advice instead of direct involvement, which would require less of your time and energy.
