[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 518632"] As kind of an aside to this... when H and I went to speak to the psychiatrist about our parenting/ coping strategies for difficult child (after he moved out the last time) - we focused mostly on practical possibilities (what if he calls for money, what if he wants to move home, what if he gets sick etc) The psychiatrist was very clear that we should not provide difficult child ANY money...UNLESS HE OWES A DRUG DEALER. In fact I think his words were "If he owes his dealer; pay up." That struck this sheltered Catholic school girl as very odd. I mean - the drug dealer would be the LAST person I would want to pay. Of course, I said such to H in the car. And he set me straight - drug dealer would kill difficult child - so that's the ONLY person we pay if difficult child asks. When I related the story to my (75yo) mom on the phone - she said "Even I know that. Of course you pay off the drug dealer..." :wellduh: [/QUOTE]
