[QUOTE="witzend, post: 185455, member: 99"] On your dime means he isn't earning or spending any of his own money. While I'm sure that "people like that need help", that's a moot point if they don't want it and won't take it. There's plenty of help out there that your son has refused. When he applies himself to a program, and doesn't just promise to go as a bribe get out of jail or stay at your house and then get high and run off the next day, then he and you should feel free to bemoan the lack of help available to him. Until that day, he doesn't have a thing to complain about, and you [i]still[/i] just don't get it if you think he does. I can't for the life of me imagine where he would get his xanax filled legally. It's a Schedule IV Controlled Substance and he would need a prescription to get it refilled beyond 6 months after it was last written. He's been in jail for a year, what doctor wrote him a prescription since he got out of jail? Where did he get money for the doctor? Where did he get money for a prescription? If he was using his money for food and rent he wouldn't have money for drugs. If someone is paying for food, clothing, and housing and he is using his money for drugs, he is doing it on their dime because he doesn't need to feed, house, or clothe himself and is free to spend any money he has on drugs. So far as I can see, he has never had to choose between eating or a bed and drugs because someone is always feeding him or giving him a free bed to sleep in. I believe you may be naive to think that he got a prescription refilled. It's more likely he bought it on the street or stole it. [/QUOTE]
