[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 740070, member: 1550"] Never give a drug addict money. Pay yourself in person. Walk in and pay the barber. They will use every dime on drugs. Every penny. It takes at least one sober year and being on track to trust addicts. He should be able to pay for his own haircut. One good week or even month means nothing to a drug addict. Reward them with love all the time, not money and material things. Love has no price. Money is dangerous to them. Dont get upset at yourself for loving your child. Just maybe learn better skills and boundaries. Therapy or Al Anon can help. I recommend reading the book Boundaries by Townstead and Cloud. It is Christian but I am spiritual, not Christian, and I found the non religious part of the book extremely common sense and helpful. Codependent No More by Melody Beatty is a great read. Love and light! [/QUOTE]
