[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 724483, member: 1550"] It's not bad that you gave her food. Not a big deal. Doubt she can sell food for drug money and we are human. Your daughter getting money and a gift card certificate (If it's true...drug addicts lie when their lips move) indicate street smarts, the ability to maybe get money etc from strangers, maybe the common panhandling but maybe as a gift from a friend. I feel so bad for people in the street and always offer to buy food and even give money. It is hard to starve by the way. There are food pantries and shelters with free meals. Also...I know this is not much comfort to you...I get it. But your daughter is not disregarding her benefits and utilizes a food card. Some can't manage their benefits. Our adult kids break our hearts, but they are smarter than we think about street life. How nice if they would use their intelligence to never use drugs and plan a career. They sadly don't. Not with a brain on drugs. You were nice to your daughter. You did the little you can do. Bad hygiene goes along with drug use. Now be good to yourself and do something that gives you pleasure. You deserve it. Have you tried therapy or Al Anon? [/QUOTE]
