I'm willing to help someone who has first tried to help him or herself. I think if we don't let them do their best first .. it's not doing them any favor. There's not always going to be someone around to help them all the time. The line I won't cross is that I won't enable someone to do the wrong thing .. or help someone in a way that will hurt myself or someone I care about.
I withdraw support when the person I've helped doesn't appear to be trying to help themselves.

I think the line between being depended upon and being taken for granted can be very thin. Thank you for your reply CMI! :)

Thank you for your thoughtful answer LC and Happy Tuesday to thee! :) I agree! :)
