[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 687950, member: 15801"] Somewhere is absolutely right. The giving has to be because it feels right to US, and helps us sleep better. I help my son, when he is helping himself, because that feels right to me.... And I really do not want him on the streets again.... BUT if he is using or blowing me off, or not doing the things to help himself then I am willing to let it go and let him be on the streets. Giving to them doesn't guarantee they will do any of the right things. But having them on the streets doesn't guarantee they will get it either. My son figured out how to survive on the streets by panhandling and doing whatever things I don't think I want to know. I am not sure being on the streets helped him except that he does know he doesn't want to be on the streets again. There are no easy answers or answers that work for every kid. So in the end you have to do what feels like the right thing to you, and what will help you sleep better at night. We have all had sleepless nights worrying about our kids and in my view anything that helps us sleep better is good. [/QUOTE]
