[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 671413, member: 1157"] This is tough, I know -- I've beenin that back and forth struggle with my own conscience, in deciding where that line is between helping and enabling. The "what ifs" etc. I can't add more to what's been said aleady, exept to suggest this: when you find yourself working harder than he is to change/better his situation, it's time to take a step back. A few phone calls and an occasional ride can be generous/appropriate temporarily - but sometimes it becomes more and more and before you know it. you're back to full-on enabling. Tread cautiously and ask yourself, "am I working harder than he is?" Hugs. [/QUOTE]
