[QUOTE="Mikey, post: 148179, member: 3579"] Star, in one or two sentences, you've elegantly summed up my dilemma. My answer is "NO", it doesn't help to stand up for someone who won't stand up for themselves. You could just as easily say "prop up" as "stand up", and the effect would be the same. In the end, you cannot do for someone what they won't do for themselves. You can't trust or respect someone who has no self-respect and isn't trustworthy. You can love them with your heart and soul, but you can't make them change. In the end, I think that's where we both are with our children. Mikey [/QUOTE]
