[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 618962, member: 17542"] Here is my take on the difference in providing resource info, getting someone to treatment and enabling: 1. Has the person asked me for help? 2. What kind of help? 3. If they want rehab, yes of course I would help them access rehab with information, a ride there, etc. and yes I would pay for it/help pay for it if I could and wanted to. 4. If they are asking for help to continue the same behavior, no. 5. If they are asking for information about shelters, food kitchens, etc. and have no way to access that info themselves, yes I would help with that. I always ask myself this clarifying question: am I about to do something for him he can do for himself? All of that said, I still make decisions that I Later define as mistakes. I am trying but I am human. And I have to live with myself. No one can unequivocally tell another person the one right thing to do. We all get that. We all can take what we like and leave the rest without recrimination. [/QUOTE]
