How far does someone have to push before you walk away?

A Job. No, wait, A volunteer position. As close to a job as one can get. A nonprofit that helps families, kids, working towards gaining a higher education. Available grants, loans, etc.
Older leader who could inspire the angels to sing, moves on. New person. New vision. This vision includes cozying up to one political party and schmoozing at events. This group will be sucked dry and fall apart, as those whom most oppose such works are being brought in on a newly created ‘board of guidance.’ (oh puh-leeze!)
Some long timers left with wings on. Some are laying low and plugging away under the guise of; ‘for this too shall pass, oh Lord.’
The prior goals and positives are being slowly dragged out to sea by this new tide.
I love helping kids get ahead.
Politics does not belong here. But here they are.
After using the gift of fussing, losing sleep, etc., I finally left.
I do have other major responsibilities in my life.
But…
I have been pushed past my endurance. The light has dimmed for me. I helped as many as I could. At some point I just stopped. I’m finished. I can no longer give my all to others. I’m too tired to push back.
Does that make a person a weak wienie to say enough, and bail?
Guilt blankets me still.
Any others who have been pushed too far?
What did you do? Did you push back?
Did you walk away?
Do you feel the guilt?
