[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 697978, member: 19069"] I've had major problems with my mother enabling my son so I know where you are coming from. Just yesterday my son called my mom wanting her to send him money through money gram, she said no and he told her off then hung up on her but later he called back begging that he didn't have gas to get to work and that he was starving, says he gets paid today. Anyway she sent $20 and said you can't get high on that little money. We think my son is drug free right now but after the way he acted yesterday I'm not so sure. I have literally laid down the law with my mom and it's been hard to get her to realize that when you buy them things they can then use their money for drugs. I would always buy my son something to eat myself but I don't give money and definitely wouldn't buy cigarettes . You are absolutely telling your mom right, that's enabling and it's not helping him. I wouldn't be too hard on her about the food because it probably makes her feel better but definitely no cigarettes or cash. No food everyday either, your son needs motivation to want to change.
