Given a real-life anecdote of a complex ethical situation, judge whether or not a specific person is wrong here. Answer 'not answerable' if more information is required and 'answerable' if all the information is sufficient to answer who is wrong in this situation.

Example Input: I’m almost 28 and after some surgery I got addicted to prescription painkillers like oxy and Percocet. 

I eventually graduated to heroin and got clean when I was 26 but relapsed after only a couple months. At the time I was more or less homeless but me and this other guy “Jack” squatted together in this abandoned building for a little while. We looked out for each other and we always had Naloxone on us in case we needed it because the local needle exchange would give it out to known users in the city. 

I ended up overdosing after my relapse because I over estimated how much I could actually handle at that point and luckily Jack came back at the right moment and saved my life. 

After this, I have been fully clean for a little bit over a year now. I haven’t seen or heard from Jack for a really long time, I’ve moved into my own decent apartment, I have a decent job and I have always just assumed that he was dead by now. 

Well we live in a medium to smaller sized city so I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised that I would run into people I knew eventually. 

I was out going to my bank, which is in a sketchier part of the city, and I hear somebody call out my name. I turn around and it’s Jack. 

I can immediately tell that he’s super strung out and he goes, “Wow look at you. Guess you finally managed to get better.” 

I’m feeling nervous as fuck because I don’t trust strung out junkies because I was that strung out junkie not too long ago. 

He tells me that he has been trying to get sober for the past year but nothing has been working out. Then, as I expected, he asks me for help. He asks me if he can crash at my place or if I can help him out with some money to go to a rehab since he says that I now look like, “I can spare it.” 

I had nor do I have any desire to let an actively using heroin addict stay at my apartment. And I don’t want to give him money because I know for a fact that shit will not go to a rehab. 

I tell him that I don’t think I can do that for him but I wish him luck.

He says I’m a “fucking asshole” and that I’d be dead if it “wasn’t for him”. To be fair, he is right. I would’ve died without him. He then just spits at my feet and walks off. I left feeling pretty shook up. 

I thought at the time that I was making the right decision but I don’t know anymore. He did save my life and I could very well be in his position or dead instead of where I am right now. But I also don’t think I am ready to be around people like that at this point in my recovery. I’ve lost all of my family, who want nothing to do with me and my only friend left helped me get clean and I don’t want to drag him back into this world so I don’t have a lot of people to talk to about this besides my sponsor. 

AITA for refusing to help Jack? He saved my life but I don’t know what I can really do for him.

Example Input: Here's some context. . . My mom(53) has worked for the last 10yr+ as a school bus driver. She gets weekends off and has early days as well as major holiday vacations. She makes less than $35,000 annually, but hasn't made efforts to find something to help her sustain her residency in LA County. She lives with my aunt atm and pays $600 for a 1br, parking, utilities, internet, and laundry included. Last week my sister and her bf, who have a toddler together, got into it. Their relationship was already hanging on a thread because they just couldn't make things work. Her bf is very irrational and vindictive and my sister is very stubborn and proud. Well, he ended up kicking both her and their son out of their apt.

My mother invited my sister to stay at my aunts house given the situation and because all happened so fast neither of them reached out to my aunt to ask if it were alright. When my aunt found out she exploded. Gave my sister a month, max. She then blatantly told my mother that she needed to find a new place. My mother constantly had issues with my grandmother, who is also living in my aunts house and being supported by her as well. This always put my aunt in a stressful position as mediator. 

When I heard the news I was devastated. My husband and I offered to help my family as much as we could. My sister was lucky enough to find a room for rent with a family friend for $500, but my mother has little to no option and is even considering sleeping in her car. My husband and I both asked her to consider moving into a 2br and that she would have to pay $800 and watch our 10 month old when necessary so I could possibly work or go back to school, but she said she couldn't afford it. She then exclaimed that we should give her a discount for watching the baby. 
When we couldn't come to an agreement she asked us to compromise and get a 1br so she could sleep in the living room at less than what shes paying at my aunts. Neither of us wants to give up our privacy. 

My husband and I are both in the culinary industry, so living in the city is necessary for us. We make just enough to get by here and in the future if the opportunity presents it self we will relocate to somewhere more inexpensive, but this is our life at the moment and we arent being pushovers. 

AITA?

Example Input: As long as I have been born, my Mum has been over weight. She has tried numerous diets etc but always gives up.

She turned 60 last year and along with that has come some complications around her weight. It is a vicious cycle of not being able to exercise properly due to bad knees etc, gaining more weight, therefore not being able to exercise.

My Dad is suffering because of it. He is a very active and social person, but my Mum really struggles. She can't walk more than a few km's at a time and social events tire her out - a lot.

She needs to loose weight, there is no doubt about it and my family all agree she needs an intervention... however no one is willing to give her the hard word because they don't want to upset her.

I LOVE my Mum. She is the best Mother I could ever wish for and as it stands - she won't be around to see my children.

Am I the Asshole for wanting to give it to her straight? 

We have found a personal trainer, I know a nutritionist, we are all willing to do it together as a family.
