Well, just finished reading this all. Bethie~ there's one thing I know for sure, and that is~ you truly are a GOOD person. I agree w/how you feel. It hurts to be constantly "reeled" in by someone who is desperately asking for help, only to find out they don't really want the help and are only seeking attention.

Meanwhile, everyone except the victim is upset, worried and praying. It's very very sad. Don't give it another thought. You can't help someone who won't or doesn't want to help themself.
