[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 720259, member: 19290"] Sorry it did seem like a blueprint, huh? I meant it conceptually. The 700 was the rate for the room he wanted to rent right? And he said he needed housing or he can't work, right? So the concept would be to give a chance to the things that are healthy without enabling the things that are not. Give him temp housing and put some food in the mini fridge, wherever he needs to work until he can earn the money to rent the room he wants. Bus pass, uber account or whatever will get him to work. You mentioned his medications and he mentioned discontinuing pot but are those conditions for your assistance? I have no opinion on whether it should be or not. If pot has consistently sabotaged him then it seems to make sense not to throw good money after bad, so conditioning the temp housing on clean tests would be perfectly legitimate. Re the medications, leave them with him and the phone number of his physician and a pharmacy. I'm trying to figure out a similar living arrangement for mine. I think it was Clooney's character in the Decendents who described his wealthy father's position on helping out kids like this. "give them enough so they can do something, but not so much that they can do nothing." That's always stuck with me. [/QUOTE]
