Also a good point. In the past, family members had been helping them out. If it weren't for family and friends, they would have already lost their house and cars. Everybody has recently come together to agree not to help them any longer... now that we all know how bad it has gotten.
The biggest concern here is that their "rock bottom" is going to somehow involve the kids and that's something none of us want to see happen. Thus the reason for trying to figure out a way to make them WANT to get help before things go that far.
