 in response to susie's son...   Your mother must have had a great impact on you and I am glad you shared her words with me. Even when they are no longer with us good people are still a big part of us and find a way to reach out ...by sharing her words with me that is exactly what happened. Thank you.

I really wish you the best and I will pray for you . I really wish more people would think before they speak there seems to be many people on this site that only reply when they can throw in their mean spirited opinions ... I don't think anyone came to this site for insults and condemnation and I feel sorry for those people because I try to think well of everyone unless they give me reasons not to ... I've never met these rude people and I can only imagine what people who know them personally must think and put up with. Imglad that I am not the only one who thinks that they should keep their comments to themselves .

 in response to johannagiles...   To joannejiles... You are right on all accounts except that I do surround myself with good people...in a sence...I try to see the good in everyone and. I sometimes ignore the other stuff. Everyone has problems and some more than others but sometimes they just need someone to listen and lend a hand. Like I said in another post...I just wish it was easier to let them know that not all people are bad so I help them when I can and hope that they realize that some people are good and no matter the problem it will get better so they don't need to treat people badly and be perceived as a bad person. I've noticed that a lot of them do that so they don't get hurt first . Most "bad" people have their reasons and I just like to prove that life is not all bad ,no matter what they have been through.

 in response to ekikaseven...   Thank you for that. That is the type of response I was hoping for...sincere...not like the others I keep getting in my mailbox pretty much telling me that I'm an idiot or full of it...they are just proving what I already think...people in general are just as happy insulting and condemning others as they are thinking that they are smarter and better than everyone else when they really just can't face the fact that they are just human and vulnerable to problems just like everyone else. SAD.

 in response to Schmidty...   Treat others as you would be treated .... I'm just saying its kind of crappy to run from a friend in trouble. I didn't ask them for help and I have other friends...I was just saying I helped some people and I got screwed. I misspoke when I didn't expect anything in return... I did trust that the money that I loaned that was agreed to be paid back would be... It wasn't and it put me in a bad spot. I did not expect anything for the six months of letting them have a roof over their heads and food in their stomachs. Taking them to do things so they wouldn't sit around getting depressed over their problems and I didn't expect anything for getting them each jobs once they were back on their feet I was happy for them and still let them stay so they could save money for their own place and gave them my older truck to get around in for free. All I had them agree to was PAY ME BACK THE CASH FOR TAG AND TITLE AND INSURANCE . It was agreed but never happened. They are doing well now and I am still happy for them but upset at the same time. I never saw that coming and still don't know why it happened ... They talk to other people I know and have no bad things to say about me . I took them at their word. And accept that it is my mistake but if you read my original post you will see that I was curious and wondering if others have gone through a similar situation... I was not trying to have someone offer an arguement on something other than the main point of the post. I really didn't want to type the whole story... And I still didn't ... But I am still curious if anyone had been through something similar and if so should I do something other than learn from my mistake. P.S. THEY DIDN'T ASK ME FOR THE INITIAL HELP, I JUST GAVE IT TO THEM, BUT IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE THEY ASKED FOR OTHER THINGS ALL OF THE TIME AND WOULD TREAT ME HORRIBLY IF I HAD TO SAY NO. IF I SEE A FRIEND IN NEED I WILL DO WHAT I CAN TO HELP WITHOUT THEM ASKING SO THERE IS NO ONES PRIDE GETTING HURT. I have some great friends that treat everyone they meet very well including me so I am only talking about this specific situation and I am asking for advice if possible......WOW ... Sorry so long winded. I guess I had a lot more on my mind about this than I realized. I apologize.

Have you ever ended up in a bad spot from helping people too much, so much that you hurt yourself by doing so? I have a problem. I don't know if I am just ignorant or just a glutten for punishment. I keep helping people and it keeps biting me in the ... . I find myself in a place in my life needing help but those that I have helped are nowhere to be found. I did not help them expecting anything in return but I thought I had friends at least. Nope.
