[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 629237, member: 4152"] Not too long ago I met a woman who had taught her adult son to have empathy for the homeless. He was working as a waiter...but had bigger and better things in the works. He got off his shift and a homeless man asked him for money. He proceeded to give him sOme but the HL man was high and realized this guy was a waitir and would have tip money. The HL man killed her son. They found out in court the HL man was staying at a good shelter with room and board, but would beg all day for drug money. This mom has a diff idea today of the homeless. Just a sad mess. Our daughter from time to time swears she is starving and depending on the circumstances, we might help. But I can see this escalating and further boundaries will need to be set. Today she called 11x because for some unknown reason wants us to buy her another cell phone. She has very basic phone/service. We said no and didn't answer any of her subsequent calls or texts. Few understand how weird and sad this life is. My heart goes out to everyone here...I'm only a few steps behind you so to speak. [/QUOTE]
