[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 720419, member: 17720"] I think acceptance of their choices is crucial when we are deciding whether or not to give them any assistance. If there is not complete acceptance of their choices, our help will always come with expectations. That always leads to trouble, at least for me! So I guess that would be what I would be trying to sort out, Copa. How would you feel if he accepted your deposit money to get off the streets, then decided not to work at all and live on $200 a month and his medical marijuana? Would you feel like he was "wasting" your help? What if, after paying the deposits, he decided he would rather live in his car so he could have more spending money per month? Could you accept his choice? [/QUOTE]
