[QUOTE="Echolette, post: 630862, member: 17269"] Ouch. I am very very sorry you are in this position. It is so important for him and for you that you follow through on what you said. I think it is fine to give him a few things. You can think about it ahead of time. Try not to spend too much money, to make him too laden with stuff (he'll need to carry it) and to limit it. A little food to last him a day is fine. A bus pass or train pass. A visa card with $25 on it. Stuff like that. He may need an ID wherever he is going. He has to take the next steps himself. They are not yours to take. Your step is to release yourself from taking care of him, to release him of the prison of your care. His step is to take care of himself. He'll have to learn how. Most of us learn best by doing. Many many hugs to you, mom. We ALL know how you feel today. Keep posting, keep asking. It will help. Echo [/QUOTE]
