I agree with the Statement that it was your son's decision to leave for a new area without sufficient funds . Giving him money is encouraging the impulsivity. I like your tie in with AA as an incentive to give the money. I attend Al-Anon as well and I do think that sometimes it is ok to set up conditions for help . It will also help you figure out whether his admissions and self declarations were for real or just manipulation. I have a rule in my life that I never loan money that I truly expect back .I see it as a gift . That keeps the amount rather low as well as it implies that I can afford to give that money away. That way I am not disappointed if I don't get the money back and I rarely (if ever) loan money.
