[QUOTE="Concerned parent, post: 703362, member: 21045"] Looks like you have had some other responses but my first thought too was one or more gift certificates, cannot be exchanged for money, places that do not sell alcohol. I was thinking of even a grocery store, but lots of them sell wine and beer. Also warm blanket or other comforting items which might come in handy. This is so tough, child who refuses to live at home and pregnant. I am not so certain that I would invite her to stay with you, seems like that could be traumatic for your other two children, and safety for all is important. The fact that she is pregnant also complicates it all, I am sure, but this is a person who has made some choices along the way, easy to say and detach, harder to do...I would say give her what you feel inclined to give her and if it is "not enough" she will have to deal with this distorted view. It does sound like it may be possible that no matter what you give her, it "will not be enough."? [/QUOTE]
