The first time Difficult Child daughter got arrested we got her a lawyer. Boy, I wish I had that money back. The really insane thing is- we were the ones who had her arrested! 


Not the same situation, but we've all been enablers.

I would probably drop the courses, but learn the lesson. If we're working harder and caring more about their situation than they are - first of all, it's a waste of time (and money).  And it's actually not helping them, it's hurting them because it's preventing them from learning how to deal with their own challenges. And it's not like they appreciate us for doing it. They resent us for doing for them what they should be doing for themselves.
