[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 750224, member: 18958"] I can see your point. Does he use drugs or abuse alcohol? I forget. I guess I don't feel good about this option either. If you send anything I would send a gift card, to someplace respectable, like Walmart, maybe. Where he can make his own decisions. He is a 40 year old man. While I know it is not your intention it's kind of like charity to pay for a hotel. I would send something where he can make a choice to meet his needs. I don't think you need to say [I]Happy Birthday[/I]. You can say[I] I am thinking of you on your birthday. And I love you very much.[/I] I don't see anything sarcastic about this. It's the truth. The thing is this: We are trapped in this inferno with them. They trap us and we trap ourselves. I think the key for us is to find some sort of grace and our love there. And in this way we free ourselves. And maybe this is a way back not only to ourselves, but to them, too. [/QUOTE]
