[QUOTE="worried sick mother, post: 684709, member: 19069"] I don't know if I can help you feel any better but I can tell you how my son has played on my heartstrings with food. My son told me that he was absolutely starving too death , that he hadn't had anything to eat in days so of course I'm not going to give him money so I agreed to fix him lasagna and get him food. He didn't seem interested then , said he would be fine but I did it anyway. Went to the grocery store, fixed him lasagna and a cake, drove it 45 minutes to another town and he knew I was coming and guess what he wasn't there. A few days later I stopped by his apartment and he wasn't there but the door was unlocked, I looked through his cabinets and fridge, he had plenty food. I worried myself sick over thinking he was starving and I couldn't eat myself because I felt guilty. They know how to play us. My son wasn't homeless so I can't relate to that but I can tell you that my son started out with marjuana and alcohol now he is a heroin addict. I often look back and wish I would have been much harder on him and maybe he wouldn't be in his current condition. I don't think marjuana is a gateway drug for everyone but I know it was for my son. You did the right thing, it will only get worse if you cave. Hang in there and try to take care of yourself. [/QUOTE]
