[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 637821, member: 1550"] TL, I think you always do the right thing. This money is his. If he spends it short-term on something bad, well, he just won't be able to fund his housing, will he? He isn't stupid and he isn't deranged. He knows that if he spends his money on stuff he doesn't need, the money for those needs will not be there. Distance is great for detachment. And as you found out it solves many problems about family members that want nothing to do with the difficult child. I'm in the same boat. None of 36's siblings want anything to do with him as t hey have heard how he speaks to me and they know he is too inconsiderate to even send them a birthday card, not even when I prompt him so that maybe he will do it. Both of my daughters don't even understand why I talk to him at all. Do something nice for YOU today :) Your son is out of your ability to control, but you can make your own day nice :) Please do it!
