[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 750258, member: 15801"] Chase - Did you come to a decision. I like Copas advice and words on what to say. Personally I like the idea of a gift card better than a motel 6. I am not sure why exactly but giving him a hotel room for one night might feel like you are rubbing salt in the wound..., you know this is where you could be at. Kind of giving something and then taking it away. I like the idea better of giving him something practical that he can use while he lives homeless. Like a warm sleeping bag etc. And yes he could sell the gift card for drugs.... if he is a drug user he will find ways to use drugs. I think if you give him something from your heart how he uses it is up to him. Of course you dont want him using it for drugs but you have no control over that and so I would let that go. Thats just me. It is really hard having a son homeless. I have been there and it was a very tough time in my life. [/QUOTE]
