[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 675581, member: 15801"] Hi JMom, You are not alone....even in the buying the tent and sleeping bag. I did that when my son was homeless....he was across the country and I ended up going to a store where i live and ordering and paying for it and he picked it up where he was. So yes I did that....and you know what I felt it was the right thing to do. It showed him that I love and care about him and I see nothing wrong with that at all. The whole not enabling thing is a balancing act... we dont want to support them to use drugs or give them money which they can use for drugs.... but doing things to let them know we love them and things that give us peace of mind are reasonable in my book.... and what those things are differe from person to person. I am glad you found us..... this is a hard journey we are all on. [/QUOTE]
