[QUOTE="So Very Drained, post: 766567, member: 33830"] Is this the right thing to do? I have spent so so so much money paying his rent, phone, food. Paid for it through his divorce so he could fight for joint custody of his 3 1/2 year old daughter. Paid for it until he found a job - and through him being sick, thus not getting paid. And to the same end. He does well for a period of time and then he does something that causes him his job - this time pointing out "safety violations" (and not big violations) which of course he says is the "right" thing to do - but that doesn't always keep you employed. He often becomes a liability to the company and gets fired. He needs to learn how to play the game, sorry to say. It's how one survives sometimes. But he doesn't learn. And here we are. So the hotel manager gave him until Monday morning to be gone. His ex will keep his things and his daughter's things in her storage unit - and will then drop him downtown. In 21 degree weather. No homeless shelters near where he is - closest is hours away. I told him no more. No more cell phone bills (will be cut off the 27th), no more rent (he's already behind) and he has no money for food. I thought saying no was the right thing? Am I wrong? Should I help him until he gets another job which could be months from now? But how can I when know he is completely alone in this town where he has zero friends? The clock is ticking..... I'm so confused. [/QUOTE]
