[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 715889, member: 1550"] He may be ramping things up to scare you so you will give him money that he will use for drugs. This ramping up is common with drug users to soften your heart and/or scare you into handing money over. If you want to fix his rent problem, which very well may just be that he spent rent money on drugs and is likely to repeat itself, pay the rent directly to the landlord. Never give a drug addict a dime. Anything you give in cash will be used for drugs. It is not at all uncommon for them to promise to do what you want them to do in order to butter you up and get $$$. Guard yourself. Actions matter, not words. Even one time seeing a therapist is often to placate you, not to help himself. Beware. If he is getting better in sixmonths and still seeing mental health prople, that matters. Going once or twice means little. Sounds to me like son is scaring you in order to compel you to chip in some money for drugs. Money doesnt help them. Love cant cure thrm or they wouldnt be sick...we all love our kids so much. Nobody would be here if love cured them. Dont forget the need to be sane yourself. This is now out of your hands. Help the only person you can help....yourself. Tske care. [/QUOTE]
