It can be exhausting for the one giving aid, though. I have been supporting a friend by drawing down some savings and foregoing some luxuries. I judge keeping food on his table more valuable than those luxuries. But I don't want to keep it up forever.

Mutual aid is different from charity. Have they been trying to support you in the ways that they are able?

That is a red fucking flag if I ever saw one.

I won't dispute that, but this is someone I knew in real life, not just an Internet acquaintance.
I can't fully discount the possibility they're deceiving me, but it would be out of character for them to do so.

This is charity, and is ok as long as you process it as such.

It’s not really a mutual situation.
