[QUOTE="Iamtiredandsad2, post: 752246, member: 24532"] Most definitely if it affects you financially, then do not do it. When my son was told to leave I was giving him $1000 a month because I did not want him to suffer financially. He still had to get a job , but I quickly realized that the money sent was "his frivolous spending money". I confronted him about this because my bill payments were being affected. I told him that I was only able to send $300 instead and he gave me hell, to the point he refused to speak to me for a year. Because of his reaction I cut all $ off. Only recently, I may send $50 a month. That's it. He was appreciative because he understood where I was coming from. "Tough Love?" Who knows? But dang! It hurt not knowing anything about him during that period ,wondering how he was doing. I just let him know that yes, I care and worry. Bottom line, it's up to him to survive. The downfall here is that he recently told me that he hasn't taken his medications for a year because he couldn't afford this and has no healthcare. Worry? Always? [/QUOTE]
