Man, I wished I lived next to you! The sad thing is many of these people know exactly what their doing and think it's funny getting money out of you. You've heard of the term enabler? This is when someone helps someone hit rock bottom. You are not lifting them up, you are actually pushing them down. If your a real softy, you might want to give them notice on the electricity, and stop with the money immediately. These people might even be getting government assistence, but they have learned how to manipulate people. Your number one priorty is for your own family and it's future. I would tell them that the use of electricity was just for short term, and you no longer can afford to support them. We did the electricity thing for someone once, but it was only for a couple of days. |
