[QUOTE="2much2recover, post: 639317, member: 18366"] There are all kinds of shelter and places to get a hot meal and a place to sleep (especially where it is a colder climate). Once you give cash, there is no telling what the money really would be used for. If he is starving and hungry why is he not using those resources? I bet he is, he's just not going to tell you that. One thing that is interesting with difficult child's is they always leave holes in their stories so we can fill in the blanks with our imagination and we usually do fill it in with the worst imaginings. That's why we call it manipulation. I agree with the others that he is just using the tactics to get money from you that he has used in the past because they have worked. Also having anxiety or feeling overwhelmed when we try something different (in this case not giving in) is completely normal. [/QUOTE]
