[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 743982, member: 23371"] Close the wallet. Homeless shelters have phones. He's probably getting cash by letting other people borrow his phone or trading it, or use of it, for drugs. Shut off your phone. He needs to figure this out. I have a severely ADHD kid Can't keep a job more than a year largely cause of that. Can't get a clear idea of a future, I could go on. "Only" uses marijuana. I'm sure he couldn't count how many times a day. But he won't get a penny from me. Anything I buy for his bd he loses, probably true, just leaves it somewhere. I don't keep buying him new stuff. You lost it, your problem. What I'm sayjng is that its a bottomless pit. Stop throwing money into the pit. He's got to climb out. You've told him how. If he wants to he will. You are not the answer to his problems. Your home is not going to make it better. If he needs a bed and meal you know he has options. Don't feel guilty about this. If you want to help him then let him grow up and figure it out himself. Picking him up when he falls is not teaching him to walk alone. He obviously has figured out how to get a job. He can figure the rest out too. [/QUOTE]
