This seems like an extreme interpretation of &quot;responsibility for other people.&quot; There are people in my care whom I&#x27;m completely aware I cannot mold into shapes of my choice, but for whom I accept the responsibility of keeping them off the street--and therefore, primarily, of keeping myself in adequate condition to keep them off the street. And I agree with GP; that to me feels like a key element of my adulthood. [Edited for grammar]
