[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 437735"] Little update - got a text from him there is a room in another town (paid weekly) but he would definitely need transportation. He might talk to them about staying where he is while he saves money for a scooter but they really want him out. Plus he would like to go to meetings as he thinks step meetings might help with his issues but again he needs transportation. Of course he knew damned well the idea of meetings would get to me... I mean hopefully he is dead serious but it also could be completely to manipulate us into giving him a scooter. I think it almost worked on my husband.... but not me. I texted him back, and said we would pay the rent until he had enough for the scooter, that I could check how far the place was from work, and that his dad and I would get him to and from meetings. That would be a royal pain but a sacrifice I am willing to make. The only way I will help with transportation is helping getting a very cheap used bicycle. I am getting stronger in the realization that he needs to WANT to move forward in his life and work for it, and he needs to WANT sobriety. We do not need to make these things easier for him any longer, they need to be doable but they don't need to be easy. [/QUOTE]
