Knowing When Enough is Enough

It's difficult to know what to do with people you love who have a lot of chaos in their lives, and therefore, bring a lot of chaos into your life.  It seems there comes a certain point when all you can say is enough is enough.  They are not doing you any good by knowingly, or unknowingly, trying to get as much as they can from you; and you are not doing them any good by giving them more help than they need.  This only results in having them become overly-reliant on you for your support when they should be learning to take care of themselves.  There comes a point when you have done all you can do for them.  The only thing you have left to give them are your prayers. The rest is up to them to provide for themselves.
