Depressing -
My neighbor across the street rang my doorbell tonight, shortly after I got home. He was upset and finally came around to telling me that his common-law wife didn't pay the power bill again and it was cut off. They're not talking, and he didn't want her to stay in the house tonight with no power so he wanted me to keep her here with me tonight. I feel terrible, but I said no.
She's disabled, and there's no way I could keep the dogs away from her. Also no way for me to get her out of the house once he brought her in (stairs). AND I have to leave tomorrow by 6:30 for work and I'm not leaving her alone in my house.
Does this make me a terrible person? All I could think was - if she gets it, she'll never leave. I feel rotten, but they've taken advantage of me for nearly 3 years now, and I can't let it continue.

There was a time when I couldn't say no, I'd have taken her in just to avoid feeling terrible about it if I'd refused. But things like this are a huge problem, he's got a cheek really trying to land you with her. It isn't fair, that's all.
