[QUOTE="Smithmom, post: 742955, member: 23371"] Have you tried calling a homeless shelter near him? You may find one that has a nurse on duty 7 days a week to dispense medications. Not unusual to give out medications with a daily meal. At least they will have dealt with this before and give you some options. They will also know pharmacies and places to get medications free. If I hadn't been down some of the roads I have I would have thought this situation impossible. I have found churches that have volunteer nurses and give out free medications with scripts, i have found teaching hospitals with free clinics run by residents out of basements. I have found one day full evaluation clinics run by health depts and all volunteer staff. You will be amazed at what you find, especially in a big city and a city with a homeless population. Homeless people aren't known to be responsible with money or medications. But a disproportionate portion have serious illnesses that need treatment. This is a common situation. Try one phone call a day. Start with Jewish Social Services. I promise that you will find something that does not require you to pay full cost of medication. Remember he is good at manipulating you. Don't let misplaced guilt push you into a losing situation. You know the next thing will be "well if you were willing to pay x per mo for medications you should pay that for rent for me." Stick to the boundaries. Stay strong. Detach. This is not within your control. [/QUOTE]
