[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 457485, member: 11791"] Its a really tough situation. We had every stray kid in the neighborhood around our place. Many of them came out OK, and some still come back and hunt down my folks to tell them how much they appreciated it. But... It meant far less parent time and involvement for ME and my brothers - and WE needed it way more than my parents ever understood. (3xGFG with a certified difficult child dad) So... one bro estranged, one off the rails, and me... sort of surviving. You can't take on someone else's problems unless you have enough time and energy to first look after your own problems. Its a really tough call. I hope I don't ever have to make that call... to not help someone who needs it. But my resources are limited, and our familly's needs are still more than I can deliver on... [/QUOTE]
