I am glad you said no, Annie.
When difficult child daughter was homeless, we sent money every week. Later, we learned that not only had the money gone for drugs or alcohol, but that she was being beat for it.
She would call wanting hotel rooms, too.
When daughter first went homeless, she blew through more than $5,000 in a matter of weeks.
When your son calls Annie...how do you feel? You sound like I used to, achingly vulnerable and afraid.
Your son is a man, Annie.
You raised him better than to do what he is doing.
Are you making a special effort to take very good care of yourself during this time? We all need to learn to do that, or the pain of the things happening to our kids will begin to affect our own health, our other children, our careers and marriages.
Be strong, Annie.
We have been where you are. You are going to come through this.
