[QUOTE="Signorina, post: 464272"] {{hugs}} Nancy. I understand about the mommy heart. My own mommy heart initially went out and bought difficult child a bed and some furnishings/kitchenware despite the fact that we totally did NOT approve him moving out of the dorms...same mommy heart that was going to pay his rent so I knew he had a roof over his head and with his bed to sleep in... It didn't make any difference and now he has that bed and my only medium sized frying pan (and new dishtowels etc, etc) in the apartment where he is smoking pot and who-knows-what-else. And this silly naive mommy heart thought HIS heart would soften once he got to his apartment and unpacked all of the things I lovingly provided,and carefully bubble wrapped and boxed for him to set up housekeeping. (we withdrew our financial & moral support when we found his paraphernalia order, which was after I had shopped and packed for him) I know how those thoughts of "how will she eat etc" can take over your mind for hours and days on end. My solution is retail therapy and manicures. I am spending the money we would have normally sent (allowance) to or spent on difficult child on myself. Not that we can afford it but then again, we found a way to make sure he had his $200 or so a month last year - that's how i justify it... [/QUOTE]
