This is such a convoluted mess, the only good I can see coming from this thread is that it lets you three vent. I understand where you are coming from. Personally, I would think that if this were my life and family that was being discussed here...most likely I would just want this thread to go away. But for some reason that I don't understand, Dragonzaymaster seems to want this thread at the top of the boards to continue. It is not reading like a soap opera....more like an episode of Jerry Springer. I would suggest to those involved that seeing as they all have each others contact information, this may be best to resolve in the more traditional ways. All of this shit slinging isn't getting any of them anywhere. There are positive things here that one can walk away with though. It would be nice if people read this and realized that while helping out another human being is a wonderful thing to do.....rescuing them generally does not work out for anyone involved. At the very least, before you take on that type of responsibility you should certainly be able to step back and determine if you are indeed prepared to handle the problem at hand. If someone asks you to take care of a package for them....and that package is clearly ticking, it would be best to bow out gracefully. Unless of course you are a bomb technician who has been sufficiently trained and is highly skilled at disarming explosive devices. If you are not and you take that package home and set it on your dining room table.....eventually it is going to blow your dining room to smithereens. People are no different...if you know the issues a person is dealing with are far beyond your capablities....you only have yourself to blame when it all blows up in your face. The most unfortunate aspect though of dealing with people is that they generally come attached to other people who end up being unwitting victims of our lapses in judgement.
