[QUOTE="BusynMember1, post: 756039, member: 23706"] I am sorry again. It's heartbreaking. Your son however does not need your money if he regularly has $$$ for weed, treat nights for the girlfriend and other non essentials. Can he not get food stamps? Do they not have soup kitchens and food pantries? The hard, sad fact that WE had to learn is that as long as we are willing to be used, when Kay could have easily found resources herself, the more we WERE used. I understand feeling weak but there are plenty of ways for your son to eat well even if he has no money because he blew it on pot. If you send him a food card it is quite likely he sells it for more pot. These kids are manipulative If you really want to feel better yourself, it is up to you and not dependant on your son's chaos. It took us years and much help to stop feeling "poor Kay." But this is your decision. For your sake I hope you begin Al Anon at the very least. Until WE change, nothing does change. Nothing. We stay messes who live through our kids. That hurts us and does not help them grow up. I hope you find peace just for today. God bless. [/QUOTE]
