Hi,
I'm new to all of this and really struggling with the concept of detachment so hoping someone can help. One of the points above is
Not preventing a crisis if it is in the natural course of events.

But what if the crisis you are preventing involves and innocent third party who it is your responsibility to look after (e.g. a child or a pet). I can definitely see the point of letting the alcoholic deal with the chaos they create but if I have responsibility for someone else, surely I need to protect them as well. Or, what if the crisis affects me negatively as well - surely I can't just sit back and let events take their course.

Any thoughts on this would be really appreciated!

Thanks!
