Being compassionate doesn't conflict with setting up healthy boundaries and feeling compassion for someone doesn't mean letting them walk all over you, in my opinion.
I've dropped all contact with some friends and members of my family because they're were a negative influence on me. But I still have compassion for them, since I know they're suffering - I just can't have them in my life..
