Ví dụ
I confirmed Papa's prophecy that I used to be very rich until I met that pastor who milked me dry.

I don't tolerate people who repetitively only bring drama to my life, or who suck me dry for emotional support but give nothing in return.

Recently I came across several articles about emotional vampires, and a light bulb went off. I realized that as blessed as I am with incredible close friends, I’ve enabled others to set up shop in my soul and milk me dry.

"We have agreed and obliged to pay tax even if it means being taxed twice, but why do you still want to milk me dry, when all I have done is to train hard to represent my country?” posed an athlete who had just landed from winning a race at the IAAF Diamond League in Eugene, Oregon-USA.
