[QUOTE="MichelleLynnFl, post: 715927, member: 22068"] I have stepped up many times in the past when my daughter lived alone. She was starving, had not eaten for days. Not enough money for rent, money for an antibiotic, cat food, cat litter. Found out now that she is living with me that she used her pay for drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. So my thinking I was helping out only enabled her to continue to use her money for other things. My advice? Hard as it is.....don't give in. No money..if your feeling absolutely powerless buy a tiny bit of food and take to him. No cash at all. As you see in my daughters case helping out only continued the cycle. I too feel he is baiting you with suicide. Don't show your emotions when he mentions it, direct the conversation on what he is going to do positive in his life. Act as if you have no care in the world about it. The more he knows this will not stir you to action, the less he will use it. My daughter when young was a cutter and then tried slitting her wrists in school. I freaked out over both things but learned if I react less....so do they. *hugs* [/QUOTE]
