[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 663706, member: 1550"] But you did give a hand. Many hands. Many chances. He didn't take those hands to pull himself up. If he means by a hand that you should be throwing money at him and supporting him that is not giving him a hand up. That is enabling him. He had free room and board at a hotel and blew it. He is not ready, for whatever reason, to accept the help he is getting and use it constructively. Please...don't let this make you feel guilty. There is not much else you could have done...you and others as well. Honestly, I feel so bad for you I'm ready to tell you to send him to me so that maybe he can settle here and get a job and we won't be so emotional, but, of course, that's my codependency talking and I know I couldn't fare any better. It has to come from HIM. You would STILL help him, if he were serious about getting his life in order. [/QUOTE]
