[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 629211, member: 17461"] Annie, our son does the same thing. Our daughter was homeless the winter before last. Temps in the thirty degree below zero range in the city she was homeless in. She called for us to pay for a hotel room for herself and the male she was with because a severe blizzard was forecast there. We said no. Neither of us slept that night. The next night, she called again. Begging for just one night. Said her feet were blistered and maybe, freezing. We said yes. One night. She immediately asked for two. We learned she had been blackballed from even the dives in that city, and none of them would rent to her. The finer hotels in that city did not have her blacklisted. That is where she had asked us to rent the room for herself and her friend. And the other friends too, I am sure. We did not rent the room. Had the addicts all been partying in a nice hotel for the two or three nights of the blizzard...we would have been responsible for the damage. It was very hard. Cedar [/QUOTE]
