Homeless People

If you saw someone that you know, living on the street, would you offer them a place to stay with you?

I've given space to someone I know , and it's a two edged sword . It was supposed to give them a place to start fixing their life from ....but all it did was make them try less.🤷

@OogieBoogie Words of experience, and wisdom.
@Dv8rs it's a tough call. You want to believe in people, and give them the help they need.
But some take help and use it ....others take help and abuse it.🤷

@SandWitch it really is a difficult choice .
My brother took me in when I showed up on his doorstep. I stayed for maybe a year ...I can't remember - it was a bad time for me .

But his taking me in was what saved me . It gave me time to recover, someone to talk to, security .... peace.

It helped me find a place of my own .

So ...you never know . But it does shit me when people abuse the help they are given .😒

@SandWitch That is scary, when people think that their wrong, was right.
@OogieBoogie Yes, that's the thing you have to watch out for.
The arrangement must include an ultimatum; If they haven't found a place of their own by whatever time you both agree on, they're out.
@PhoenixPhail I wish I could .
But deep , deep below all my sarcasm and swearing, lies a terrible softy .🙄I wish I could be so tough and do that .

But shhhh, don't tell anyone.
