[QUOTE="Lil, post: 705518, member: 17309"] Oh Copa...I always know what everyone else should do...my own options, not so much. :( I'm not prepared to just do nothing. The fact is, doing nothing in this circumstance will mean cutting him off. Zero contact and blocking him. He won't just take no for an answer and it would simply kill me to basically give up on him at this point. I can't do it. I don't really want him to come home, but it would be easier if that was what he wanted. If he wanted to come home we knew what to do about it all. We had a plan. Helping him "re-gear" is not something I've considered. Buying stuff at walmart.com has it's own problems as I outlined earlier. Giving him cash is uncomfortable at best. A walmart gift card? Well, I hear him saying, "Well, what if I want something from Dollar General? It's cheaper there?" To which the answer is, of course, "Too freaking bad." So maybe the gift card is the way to go. He can get a backpack, blankets, etc. there and even cigarettes and food. But not weed...which is why we don't want to give him cash. He could get liquor...but he's not much of a liquor person. I just don't know. :( [/QUOTE]
