[QUOTE="ChickPea, post: 755599, member: 24089"] Yes, Yes, and YES!!!!!! When I read the posts about "kids" who are 35, 38, 42, 48, etc. it just makes my heart heavy and my head hurt. My daughter is 28 and I feel I'm at the end of a rope. I can not imagine dealing with these same issues at 48. I honestly don't think I could live to see that. I really don't. It takes a toll. Beyond that, [I][B]how do I know I'm not IN my golden years[/B]? [/I] None of us know how long WE will live, or the quality of life we have left. I want to live NOW. Great way of putting it. I'm at the same place. My daughter has never been gainfully employed. So basically all her scrounging and scamming has been for her next fix and to patch her life together. She needs to patch it together because she lives in complete dysfunction (thanks [USER=24254]@WiseChoices[/USER] ;)). This is another good reason not to supply him with money. But the other reasons, as others said, is that he is a grown adult. If he wants money, he can work HARD, stop using drugs. If he still needs money, and has made amends... well then there's something to think about. But if his wheel hasn't changed... oh well. Enjoy your life!!! [/QUOTE]
