[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 534335"] Oh Nancy... I am glad you and Dash got to have lunch. Vligirl and I have become real life friends and it is so nice to get together in person with someone who gets it... I wish we all lived closer and could just get together!!! I understand the debate about the rent and what to do. These are my thoughts... much easier to be clear for someone else than yourself sometimes. But if you go on the principal of helping them do the right things.... I think I would buy the shoes to help with the new job (that is a positive step even if it does not last) and I would help her with the birth control (the sex is not a good decision on her part, but avoiding bringing a child into the world is). I would not help with the rent even though you might really want to. You knew this day was coming and this is the direct result of her irresponsible behavior and drug use and so I do think paying the rent is out and out enabling her. And there is no judgementn from me if you do decide to do it, as I get how hard it is to step back and let your child really suffer. Absolutely the hardest thing I have ever done is let my kid be homeless.....and we all get to the point of being willing to do that in our own way. Hugs, TL [/QUOTE]
