[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 685759, member: 20054"] hi blackgnat. ...and a wonderful response from you-you are so much stronger than you think. ...do they ever "not sleep" over us? Our son is/has been in this situation-he told us we just don't know how to relax! So crazy how they only live for today and we worry [I]about them[/I], yet they are much more able to make it than we think. All that "street knowledge". Wow, your sister gets it-don't let him take you down with him. Our son tends to use food, shelter, safety issues because he knows what works. Certainly we wouldn't want him t be hungry?? We don't even give food gift cards now (he trades/sells them for pills) but instead contribute to food pantry in his town and suggest HE MAKES EFFORT and goes there for help. He won't. He has a total sense that it's beneath him-but not beneath him to ask/hint/fish/steal $ from us. So hard to understand... We have felt this so often-that we need to remind ourselves that we're the only ones "playing nice". - that very week our son told us he was going to rent from a guy who said he was Chinese mafia-I found that absurd until I read your post. I think on a better day I would see humor in this... Here's hope that today is a better day for you. There really is freedom in knowing you can't fix it. Stand strong. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
