You must not bring your personal life or problems into the work place, or let it affect the way you preform your job. If you are having problems within your personal life then you can disclose these problems with your manager if you feel they may affect your job performance. With the service users, you are there to support them, not the other way around. You should not unload personal issues to them. But if they need someone to listen to their problems you should do so in a professional and caring manner.
