[QUOTE="StillStanding, post: 727807, member: 21300"] DF1 I have no advice only empathy. I read your post and like so many other times, I could have been writing it. LBL is right about something important, there is no right or wrong. Why are you upset with yourself that you couldn't bear to leave your son in the cold under a bridge? This seems like a reasonable mom response to me. It is the conflict with ourselves that makes this battle so hard. I no longer give my son cash for anything but I will give him gift cards. Do I know he can sell them? Of course. Does that make me weak or an enabler? I don't know. I only know what works for me. Keep trying to find what works for you. Good luck. And, you are not alone.
