[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 620501, member: 17269"] I know this isn't all about money, but it got me to thinking about all the money and things I've given difficult child, both when he lived at home and since he has been on the street (or couch surfing or whatever) for the past 2 1/2 years. Ipods, ipads, money, lunch, coffee makers, used furniture, lots of pairs of gloves and hats, warm pants and sweaters, under armour, record players, drum kits, more back packs and gym bags than I can count, and $10, $20, $30, $1800...and you know what? He has nothing. Absolutely nothing. The clothes I see him wearing are not at all familiar...I assume they are from charity, or he took them from some one else (I doubt he still has the pants he got caught stealing from the gap....haha, attempt at humor). Which is to say...that what they ask for is not what they truly need. And what we have given them in the past is not what was needed, or valued, or retained either. I love your email. It is perfect. Echo. [/QUOTE]
