[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 635429, member: 15473"] If he makes enough money to pay for his medicine then I would agree with helping him with medical costs only if you are allowed to work directly with the Dr and pharmacy. I would also tell him you have X amount of money you are willing to give and that once that is done you are done. That it wont happen again unless there is an extreme emergency. I would define the terms for extreme emergency so that they meet a criteria you are happy with. If the case is that he simply can't afford to pay for his medicine I would give him a set amount of time that I would help and then he would need to have a job or some way to pay his own bills. Is his medication something that works for him and he has issues that prevent him from paying for them? I have recently started drawing the line with the mother in law about anything except her medication and medical needs. in my humble opinion I would help a stranger who needed medicine or a meal so why wouldn't I help a loved one. On the other hand I also manage the mother in law's money so I know she doesn't have the money to pay for her expenses and that there is nothing she can do about it. [/QUOTE]
