[quote=Anonymous]It's really difficult but have to learn to set boundaries and disengage. It's hard because you want to help the ones you love. The problem is that you can't let them drag you down. It's sort of the same thing professional athletes from rough backgrounds have to do. It's hard to let go of the people you grew up with but those are the people that are perpetuating what you worked so hard to get away from. I had a rough childhood but stayed focused on education - kept my nose to the grindstone, stayed clean. A couple of my brothers went down another path. It still pains me to recall saying 'no' to them when they were looking for help (like a ride home after escaping a drug bust). I'd help them if it wasn't related to perpetuating/supporting negative behaviors/lifestyle but you're going to have to figure out what your own line is and then be prepared for the fallout. Good luck.[/quote]
