Would you let them stay with you?

Okay so I have an old friend who’s life went pretty downhill the last few years, where when their son was only 1, her husband got kicked out of the military for doing drugs. Shortly after she discovered she was pregnant again but her husband was saying he needed the drugs to cope with his childhood trauma or something like that. So he never ended up getting another job. Anyway, they lost the house they owned because of it and have been bouncing house to to house with friends and family with them and their two kids. The kids are almost 5 and almost 3 now. And they’re basically still in the same position. Well she hit me up and asked if she and the kids could stay with me temporarily because her stepdad (who they were staying with) told them they had to get out because his landlord didn’t want them there because they weren’t on the lease. She said her husband was gonna stay in the car so it’d just be her and the kids but he’d be asleep in the car in my driveway? I felt uneasy about it. My own husband said flat out no and they need to figure out their own shit and stop bumming off everyone they know. My main concern is her kids who are completely innocent in this and are legitimately homeless.

So I told her my husband is just not comfortable with that idea. We have two kids of our own and have to think of their safety and with drugs come issues of safety. She said she understood and that a family member loaned them money for an extended stay hotel for the time being.

But now I am feeling guilty. Was I wrong for not trying to convince my husband to let them stay with us?
