I am supposed to meet with a second cousin of mine for breakfast tomorrow. I think he is going to ask for money or advice, but I only see his situation as hopeless. Here's the situation:I feel bad for him. He grew up truly poor (he had no bed when I visited because his mom was a druggie who sold her body for a gallon of milk sometimes), his apartment complex wall on the stairs up was covered in bloody chunks I saw myself, he was abused heavily and was incredibly angry even as a child.He grew up and became a criminal (served years in prison for home invasion) and now has a record and seven kids by seven separate mothers he has to pay child support for. I am sure he will ask for help, but what can be done for someone like that?He is hosed even if he wanted to do better... He will have the worst credit, a criminal record that will keep him from getting jobs, no skills, and worse than that... Possibly a broken personality that can't be fixed at his age. He is truly in a bad situation.If I gave him money, he would spend it and be right back in the same position in a week or two. If I give him advice, even if he follows it, he can never dig himself out of the hole he is in. I don't want him around me or my family as he is a broken and dangerous person. I guess I'll go buy him breakfast and just listen...Anyone deal with a similar situation and have advice?
