When's enough?

When's enough? At what point do you need to draw a line in any given situation and say that's enough? How much grace should you extend to those around you? What price is too great to pay to allow others to be who they are, and work out their problems and brokenness? To what extent do you carry relationships that only feel one sided or one way? That are only beneficial or joyful for one person. Where's the line between keeping the peace and being a doormat for others to wipe their feet on? Do other people even struggle with this? I know everybody has a difficult friend, or a difficult parent or someone in their life that makes them work on their graciousness skills when they are around. But if it's unending, if it's damaging, when are you allowed to call it quits? How do you pull the plug when you know it has greater reaching impacts than just the two individuals. How do you do it when the other person or person's will probably just tell you that you are being deceived and that it's your issue.
Here's a better question. When is the ... ahh nevermind, it doesn't matter.

Sorry for the short and angry post, I will work it out I'm sure.

I think when you start asking questions like that, it's also time to take the action. If the individual's behaviour has taken it to the point you decribed then they are not likely to see your side or understand your point. And in the end does it really even matter? If you need to cut your ties with someone damaging to your well being is it really vital that they fully understand it? Sure it's good to explain yourself, but beyond that it's not your duty to make them accept it. After all if they truly understood where you were coming from, you wouldn't be in that situation to begin with.
