[QUOTE="in a daze, post: 642128, member: 15832"] We haven't given difficult child money in months. I will do stuff like buy him a new pair of shoes, or interview clothes. But he's stopped asking for money because he knows the answer will be no. It took months for this to finally sink in, before he stopped asking. There was one exception. We had cashed in one of his bonds and I gave him 100.00 last summer because he was going to a concert out of town with his friends. Believe me, I agonized over this. We were all afraid he would relapse but amazingly he stayed sober.He didn't ask for the money, I just felt I wanted to give it to him. I think you should stay strong Lil, and say no to requests for money. It's better to buy it for him because at least you have control over where the money is going, as long as it isn't too often. It's so hard, isn't it? [/QUOTE]
