Not much. Most of those places have fairly strict rules of behavior, conduct, access, and so on. Your ex-friend probably broke every one of them and told the staff, essentially, that the rules didn't apply to her because she was "special." That's one way to get the boot fast.
Yeah. I lived with a woman for a couple of years who would subject me to a tirade every night for 90 minutes or so about all the stress in her day. When I told her it was too much, her reply was, "Well, you _asked_ me how my day was!"
So, the next day, I didn't ask her. The pressure built up for about an hour as she waited, and waited, and I wouldn't ask. Finally, she just decided "the hell with it," and started spewing. We didn't last too much longer after that. But she was the first one I was really serious about, and I thought you were _supposed_ to give endless 24/7 support to the person you loved. Not realizing that a healthy person doesn't need that much, and in fact will spend part of the time giving support back to _you._
