[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 473255, member: 11791"] Buddy - Years ago, we were at a "safety" show... and a firefighter made an interesting statement. Something to the effect that the worst thing he can do as a firefighter is to make it "his" problem. It isn't. Its "their" problem. It makes no sense to endanger themselves or others because of being all taken up with emotion... There is a problem. They do what they can to help. You need to do the same. This is [U][B]NOT [/B]your problem[/U]. Yes, there is a problem. Yes, help is needed. No, you do not endanger yourself trying to help... They will suck you into [U]their problem[/U], and leave you with nothing for yourself and your son. Call in outside resources, if you want... but back away. [/QUOTE]
