When I first read this I felt people were being too harsh.
I mean you put the work and effort in for someone according to their circumstances at the time. As long as you weren't lied to, what they do after the event is their own business - it is not up to you to "own" something given freely.
Having read what Shawnee wrote about how much the show actually does for people however, I can see why they would feel aggrieved. Had the family simply continued on in a sensible fashion they would not be in this situation now.
Speaking as one who is always in and out of financial ruin through my own poor financial management, I think it's always better to leave people with something to work for. They might still screw it up, but at least they haven't been rescued by a deus ex machina, and therefore won't expect it again.
