My problem is trying to distinquish difference between helping and enabling. For instance, my son is going on an expensive vacation to Ca.. I live 85 miles from airport, but he wanted to save his long term parking money so, he asked me to drive a 170 mile round trip to pick him up from the airport. I felt obligated to do it even though I'm in my 60's and the drive and wait would be hard on me. His dad put his foot down that I couldn't go. Who was right me or his dad? Thanks if you can answer.
