emjay, you're a good guy. No need to change.
Thanks, but it is a problem... always has been. Like when I was growing up, me and my family were, through our church, trying to help this homeless alcoholic get back on his feet... for years... but it brought a lot of strife and division to our family and at the end of the day, the guy didn't try to help himself, so he's still an alcoholic as far as I know. Basically there's got to be a line... where it's not worth helping someone if they're not willing to help themselves... but recognising that line has always been hard for me.
