[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 659789, member: 17461"] Our son would say that: "Your little plan; the piece of cr*p car you bought me; what do you expect me to do with that." Our daughter survived on the streets for six months in winter. Temps nearing 30to 35 degrees below zero. Heavy snow; blizzard conditions. Your son will make it on the streets. Especially now, in summer. Those are the feelings we need to guard against. The only one who could have made these terrible things that have happened to all of us not true was the adult child who made them happen in the first place. D H and I are stronger, now. It was a living nightmare to get to this point. Whether you give your son what he is after or not, this will be a bad time. Until he is ready to change, he is not going to change. If he were ready to change, he would need nothing from you. That is how we can know: We can never help unless they don't need it. Helping now when they do need it is enabling of the highest caliber. Remember what happened to my daughter too, Seeking and Seeking D H. Helping isn't helping, when our children are addicted. I don't know what the answer is. I only know that it will be better for everyone if you do not help, and if you warn family not to help. I am sorry this is happening, Seeking and Seeking D H. Maybe Echo will be right, and he will turn away and go elsewhere. That would be the best thing. Cedar [/QUOTE]
