[QUOTE="CrazyinVA, post: 557251, member: 1157"] This: ...really resonated with me. I think this is a fantastic guideline for further refining that line many of us tread between helping and enabling our adult difficult children. Thanks RE:) I agree with the idea of getting him the gas yourself, as long as it's convenient for you. But I'd be cautious that this doesn't become an expectation of his, or that you will be responsible for his gas. Maybe calculate exactly how much you think he'll need/what you're willing to cover in any given period of time (e.g., one full tank every 10 days), and stick to that. If he uses more gas than what you've said you'd pay for, it's on him. [/QUOTE]
