[QUOTE="JayPee, post: 749154, member: 23405"] I'm still working on detachment and enabling (probably for the rest of my life) but I wanted to get some thoughts on this. My oldest homeless son (living is his car) finally went to a food shelter for some food on Saturday. He said he asked for non-perishable items but they still gave him a few things like eggs and yogurt bread etc.. He asked me to "hold" these items for him. I hesitanatly agreed to do so. And then I opened my mouth and said, what are we going to do with all these eggs? I then offered to make him egg salad sandwiches and for a couple of days now have been bringing them to him with yogurts and watermelon. WTH I am doing? I get so confused. I know this doesn't seem like an earth shattering big issues but I just wanted some input. Am I sending the wrong message again? If I softened the edges of his homelessness by doing this am I still prolonging the inevitable? [/QUOTE]
