Or is the ideal something more Gandhi-like, passive resistance?

Its completely unfair to her children, social services have been involved with that family for a long time, but they never actually seem to do anything. Its really sad that to see all 3 of her kids heading down the same road, and no-one doing a thing about it.
I think that you don't have to stoop to someone else's level to teach them, assuming that you see it as your responsibility to teach them.
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.
Ghandi has never stooped to our level,which makes him the biggest arrogant douchebag witha Messianic Complex going.

You could not risk your own children being hurt or even possibly seeing that sort of behavior as something that they should imitate. Also, the friendship with their mother seemed too one-sided.

You didn't have to admit squat - you had me fooled. I responded thinking you were the douche himself.
It can be. I know of a guy that let a guy stay rent free because he was too soft.
