[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 710083, member: 1967"] We have paid rent on and off for years and I really regret it now. It took two years of therapy for me to realize that my husband and I were just enabling our daughter's drug use. Every penny that we spent on paying rent, buying groceries, paying for gas made it possible for her to spend any money she made on drugs and alcohol. When we finally learned how to set boundaries and expectations for our daughter to take care of herself, she finally got sober and has held down a full time job and is totally self-sufficient. I see that your son is 21. That is old enough to get a job, an apartment, and pay his own bills. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
