[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 602391, member: 1967"] The grocery card is a hard call. As a parent, it is hard to think about your child going hungry. I would say a one-time thing would be okay when he first leaves the house. We even gave our difficult child grocery card for $40 this week since she doesn't get her first paycheck until next Friday. I don't know what grocery stores are by you but we got a student card from Publix that doesn't let the person with the card buy alcohol, cigarettes, or lottery tickets with it. You may also need to make up a list of homeless shelters since he will tell you that he has nowhere to go. Of course, he will actually end up couch surfing on friend's sofas until they get tired of him. By then, hopefully, he will have a job. As far as shoes, nope . . . tell him that is what paychecks are for. Hang in there. This will be the hardest thing that you will ever have to do. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
