Sometimes compassion can be extended too far and for too long. Eventually the cared for one can form a dependency upon the carer. When the carer is no longer able to continue with unremitting support, the weaker one will often turn on the carer and make them the focus of their problems.
That wouldn't be compassion though. It would be co-dependency because the carer then has no compassion for themselves.True compassion will lead the cared one on to wholeness. The idea is restoration to good health, phsyically, emotionally and spiritually.JanG
