What if someone you loved very much broke your heart very badly by cheating,stealing your cash etc. If they crashed in front of your house, were injured, and you were the only one around, would you help them?

Yes. It's the right thing to do and I would only hope they would do the same for me.

And if nothing else, it's shows I'm the better person.

of course. and as soon as they were feeling better, i would have even more to guilt trip them about.

Ever read the book or seen the movie Misery?

take a page...

Yeah, I would. Might drag my feet a little but yeah, I'd do it.

superman said:

Yes,just because they are that kind of person doesn't mean that I would want to be the same,and if they died because I was the only one to help I would'nt want that hanging onto my conscious for the rest of my life. I just would'nt be able to not help.

My oldest daughter went through a phase where she stole cash and a few other things from me and did some other deeply hurtful things as well

I would give my life for her at any moment - including those moments she hurt me

Mach said:

I have been through a similar situation,but it was my sister,she stole $400 from me,cause she was going to run away with her loser boyfriend,but now she lives with me,and I know she feels extremely bad for the things she had done,and I totally trust her.

EmeraldSkies said:

I trust my daughter as well

it's not so hard to forgive people you honestly love

I can't imagine the amount of energy it takes to stay in a stuck place filled with anger and distrust ~ not my cup of tea

Mach said:

Totally agree..

Yeah, I would - and I've been/am in that situation. (A good 'friend' of mine owes me two and a half grand and disappeared off the face of the earth. Oh, not before telling everyone I made it up and that I was lying. Sweet ).

For the longest time, I withdrew from even my closest friends. Unintentionally, that is, but I still did it unwittingly to myself and was determined that nobody - especially one of my friends - would be allowed to do that to me. The only person I ended up hurting was myself, though. I am still not *as* naive or trusting as I once was, but neither do I allow that so-called 'friend' to affect me that way. It's been one of the hardest lessons I've had to learn... but karma will get his ass, I'm sure.

The stupid/insane/idealistic thing, anyway, is that I would do it. Even if that same person came knocking at my door... for better or worse.

Man, ya'll be tripping. Now, I know if your child does this. But this can go many ways. What if it happened too many times. Once, twice...when is enough.

Now, I've seen mothers take up for their child but I don't know. I love my sons so I can't say. But I know there's only so much I would take.

AlienX2050 baby!

superman said:

Yes I would

Yes.

Absolutely.

superman said:

I would do that even to my worst enemie.

JuliePurplehead said:

^^^What she said.

yes but i wouldn't let them back into my life. this is assuming the person is an exboyfriend and not a child. i don't have children so i don't know what i would do.

When someone's life is in danger everything you've mentioned becomes petty. I wouldn't think about not helping - I'd just do it.

No. but i'd go and get my bullhorn and start laughing hysterically while giving them a full account of the condition they're in. i'd also set fire to the corner houses leading into the block, just to delay help coming any sooner.

And if no one and i mean no one is around, i'd do them like Tony Soprano did Christopher. Which is hold thier nose until they couldn't breath no more.

in other words, don't ever do me wrong and crash in front of my house.

she had no place to stay. and she was leaving for the air force in a month, so i let her stay with me.

not saying it was smart, but that wouldnt be the best word to describe my college years anyway

superman said:

Yes.

But after I had snatched her wallet.

First things first.
