[QUOTE="Albatross, post: 675757, member: 17720"] JMom, I am amazed when I read posts like yours. So many of the adult children we read about here are just so...cruel and selfish. Your son sounds like a very kind soul trapped in addiction. And you sound like a very kind soul who sees past that addiction and gives him what he needs. How very thoughtful of you to do what you did. How very touching that you can offer kindnesses like that and maintain your emotional boundaries, and he can respect them. I know exactly what you mean about the strangeness of buying a tent for your homeless son. Life in the rabbit hole. I have sat across from the kitchen table and watched my son slam enough vodka shots down his throat to ensure he was drunk *enough* to make sure he could get a bed in detox. It was one of the most bizarre experiences of my life. [/QUOTE]
