Point well taken. I love her kids and she's been down on her luck for quite some time. Her husband was a douche (won't tell her story here publicly) and she wound up losing her house because of his issues and then declaring bankruptcy in the process. My mom has been helping her out financially for almost 2 years now, but that's her business and I do my best to stay out of it. Anyway, sister's, right? Choices that she's had to live with herself but I adore the kids and my nephews didn't ask for this life. It just sucks to see kids suffer from the effects of their parents' bad decisions so I try to help them out as best as I can.
I think it's time to re-evaluate.
