What is the best advice you've ever received? Explain.

The best advice I had ever received would be to not rely on those who can't even be there for themselves. There is no way I am ever going to be able to get the help, and get what I need from another person who can't do what is necessary in order to positively benefit themselves. There comes a point when you need to do what's best for yourself, even if it means not being able to be there for that person. If they want to be in your life, they will clean up their chaotic life in order to find a spot for you in it as well.
