[QUOTE="Elsi, post: 744854, member: 23349"] I’ve been through this dance too many times. The very definition of FOG (fear, obligation, guilt). I still struggle sometimes, thinking ‘what kind of monster won’t let her homeless, desperate child come stay for a while?’ But I know where it would end - me throwing them out, probably with police intervention. They would be back in the exact same situation they are in now and the only thing accomplished would be the destruction of my peace and probably my relationship with my partner. We all deserve a peaceful sanctuary. Most of us have already given up too many years of our lives. We can’t be martyrs to their poor choices forever. At some point these adults need to take responsibility for themselves. It’s never easy to hold those boundaries, though. [/QUOTE]
