[QUOTE="Childofmine, post: 673305, member: 17542"] I gave my son gifts when he was on the street and in jail etc. I would give him warm clothes, a book and some food gift cards and then a couple of times I mentally earmarked $50 or $100 for later, when things improved, and didn't mention that to him at all. Whatever you give to him, let go of the outcome. If he sells it for drugs, then so be it. You can't control what he does. All you can control is what you do, and I'm like you, I wanted to give my son something for christmas and I got pleasure from doing that. It was as much for me as for him. Hang in there. Holidays with DCs are harder than regular days. [/QUOTE]
