[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 673844, member: 1550"] Well...that tells you a lot about her. Maybe without drug use she is not like this, but drugs have made her value the money you give her (probably used for drugs) more than you right n ow. It can and will probably change if she gets help and gets better. She doesn't need to be in the cold.There are shelters, but they have rules (like no drugs). Also there are places that feed the homeless, like the Salvation Army and many churches. I volunteered at a church that fed and had mattresses for the homeless and it was always full and the food...yum. Church ladies cooked. Street folks know where to go, but like to make us feel guilty with that. She didn't mean what she said...the drugs were talking...or her FEAR of not having money for drugs.That doesn't excuse it though. If I were you, I would wait for her to call again, then do more listening than talking.You can probably go online to find shelters in her area and give her the addresses. I would never give her money....she will likely use it for drugs. If you want to get her anything or get her a room, I'd pay by credit card over the phone. Of course, this is your decision. Hugs for your hurting heart. [/QUOTE]
