Sure since she is a woman you helped all along plus she lives in your building would make it impossible to ignore. I was more less telling people to try not get in the positions to allow needy people to set you up for abuse. I know myself not to ask people for things all the time or I will never see them. My walking buddy told me..........call me on tues I will come, call me on fri again I might come. call me next week again I wont be there at all.

If they have no help at all they are likely to take you down with them like a drowning individual. I guess helping at a distance is the best way to handle it.The paraplegic I know that's in the nursing home stuck in bed 24 hrs a day could really suck me in. He needs everything and is going down quickly. He wouldn't listen to any of my advice that would have kept him home. He was worried about storage units, calling his 84 year old mother a whore, whining about his kids when he should of shut his mouth and took care of himself.
