[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 93178, member: 1514"] Welcome to the board. You are so not alone in this situation you find yourself. Many of us are right here with you. At least your son is working 2 days a week for now. Maybe when his tummy gets really hungry he will work more or look for another job. Do you plan to continue helping with the medications? How does he pay for doctor visits? Personally I think I would give him info on applying for medicaid, info on the local mental health departments with sliding scale clinics, info on food banks, and a couple of grocery cards for Christmas. Food Lion and such sell gift cards that can only be used for food. You cant stop your mom but maybe suggest she pay him in gas cards, food cards and such so she knows she is really helping him. Even Sonic and McDonalds sell cards. I dont give cash because Im afraid of where it will go. If you let him stay in the trailer, he may just figure out how to work to survive. He at least has a roof over his head and even without lights or heat, he wont die in it. We dont get that cold down here. He will probably manage. Im sure he will figure out a way. They always do.
