[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 695421, member: 1550"] Few adults, unless housebound, starve in the U.S. There are food banks, shelters (Salvation Army is one) and food stamp cardsb(not sure what they are called these days). When I used to worry about my daughter not eating, I sent her money, which she now tells me she used for drugs. Drug users are not big eaters. And there are always ways to get food. They use that hungry bit so we feel bad for them. It pulls at a mothers heartstrings, even though its usually untrue. if they are really starving, which should always be questioned in your mind, most of our adult kids are very bright. My daughter is way up there in IQ. They know what exactly works to manipulate us and they also can locate the free places to eat. And food pantries. I volunteered at a homeless shelter. Anyone could come in to eat church women home cooked delicious meals. And everyone who needed meals knew it. Most people dont get such good meals at home. No offense to all you great cooks :). I think I learned s lot from talking often and openly to my now sober daughter about her drug days. I learned so much. The one thing that stuck the most was, "Never trust a drug addict. They lie. All.The.Time." Sending them money just helps them use drugs. I think its a bad idea. [/QUOTE]
