When you help someone with major life problems

How long do you help them? I’ve been helping support a couple of families for two three years but don’t feel as if they are making progress on their own

I just noticed a notification you liked this response and I am not sure if I thanked you for the BA .
but I mainly wanted to ask if you are still helping them ?
I recently sent my Granddaughter packing ,,that was hard
But she is living with a boy that won't work ,who got the bright idea since her family loves her so much we would support him too .
His parents kicked him out ,he can't support himself and moves my granddaughter in ,,they said NO ,,but he has no respect for anyone
So we offered them a place to stay ,,I month later she is working ,he is not
He got a job but lost it ,they were working him to hard ,he needed a "personal day "
She was told she could save her money so they could get their own place
so they have a roof over their heads ,food ,transportation
Pretty boy thinks he is going to lay in the AC and play games all day and she works ,,
Well enough was enough ,,they were asked to help on the food they eat just to see if they had any money (since its clear he likes the living arrangement ,they had their own room ,a real bed and we allowed their pets .
and he thinks its unfair ,,"We agreed to let them save their money " except they haven't ,not a dime ,,he wanted to go out to eat ,take a trip back to Georgia to see his friends ,,,I told them to stay
And when she is tired of him ,,then she can come home
When she is tired of sleeping double on his friends couch's ,who party all night while she is trying to sleep ,,she will tire of it
I hope you have too
Sometimes ,love has to be tough 🤗

Our situation is different. But They are working but don’t make enough. It’s kinda a sales job.@rckt148
