[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 687872, member: 19966"] Sometimes being on the streets is the final straw for them. And, until that occurs, they will continue. I mean, who really wants to be homeless?! My son is too 'clean' of a person, takes 2 showers/day, and is too physically vain and self-absorbed to allow himself to be homeless for long. Ha! [I] If we keep 'padding' their landing, they will not feel the hard floor[/I]. Know what I mean?? I know my son, and he is a hard one. Not paying his way to relapse or continue with his lifestyle, is something that we have concluded, in our particular situation. [B][I]Helping him, has not 'helped'.[/I][/B] Does that make sense? What are your requirements for helping him with rent? Are you requiring him to live in halfway house for rent coverage? Where you will know that he is not using the $ [I]he makes[/I] on drugs/alcohol, since he's not needing to be responsible for rent (as you're covering it)? Please don't answer if you don't wish to. Those are just immediate questions that popped in to my head. We have to be so vigilant, one step ahead, with these d_c's, don't we? A few months before he entered treatment, I began to mail him food place gift cards after I saw that he was using transferred funds on alcohol. Then, women here on CD, told me NO! He will sell those cards. Ugh. :eek: P.S. your tag line still says son is 19, not sure if you realized that, or care =). [/QUOTE]
