~ Update ~
I just got back from her house. I returned $95 of the $100 she gave to me (I used the $5 as gas to get to her house). We sat on her porch and talked for two hours, enjoying lovely conversation. I told her that it was nice to make a friend. I learned she is going through a situation with her husband, who is a lawyer. This makes me a bit wary, but I gave her my contact information and told her that if she ever thinks of suicide again to consider calling and we could hang out or talk.
I hope this is the right think. I think this is what doing the right thing feels like.
Well the first thing i can think of is this. i would have felt o.k. with keeping more of the money. i think it is good you made another connection. i can understand your being wary about getting mixed up in a relationship problem. i have had both good and bad outcomes. It can be very unrewarding especially when you may be helping and later it may not be seen that way. Many people have little or no appreciation for how you helped them.
