I don't know what the comments were that led to this response video because they weren't given here on Steemit, but I think I get the gist of what they must have been. We all have our unique life experiences that shape our guiding principles. For me, as to when I cut someone out of my life, my life experiences have taught me to "help" until I know that if I quit helping, I won't look back in a few years and feel regret or guilt. My ex was a meth addict who abused me. From the outside looking in, I stayed too long and tried to help him for too long. But I know that I stayed until I knew there was nothing more I could try. No matter what happens, I will not look back and feel guilt thinking, "If I only would have gotten him into treatment one more time, maybe he'd be alive today." Nope, I know beyond any doubt I did all I could do for the man I loved and chose over all other men, and then I saved myself and never looked back. That being said, I am wiser now to drugs and abuse, and will see another like him from a mile away.
