Some wise words indeed. I've been that person that ended up giving more than I could afford. It's great being able to help, but, at the end of the day, when you're in a dark or difficult place, help isn't always reciprocated. In the end, I was happy that I was able to help, however, I'll be far less cautious going forward, since it has placed us in a very difficult position. Nothing has changed on their side and we're the ones struggling to make ends meet. Giving freely, whether emotional or financial, can be a wonderful feeling, but, it can drag you down too. Caution is the best way and, like you've said, cutting ties is sometimes an absolute necessity.
