I had an uncle that helped out some family members repeatedly until it got to the point that they were almost dependent on him for everything that they needed.
He finally realized that they weren't even trying to accomplish anything with the money that he gave them, so he stopped giving. They turned on him like a pack of rabid dogs!
Three of them accosted him in the farmyard one day and I could tell that they were working up to a physical assault so I walked over and stood beside my uncle. I was young, big and strong and they wanted no part of me.
My uncle didn't say a word as they cussed him up one side and down the other. Finally one of my aunt's husband came over and ordered them to shut up and go back into the house.
After they left, my uncle turned to me and said: "Isn't that something." Then he got in his vehicle and left.
I learned from that to be very, very careful about helping family members or anyone else. If I loan someone money, I make them sign a note so they can't say later that it was a gift.
