[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 746705, member: 1963"] When I was a couple of years younger than Acacia's son, I was living in Germany (Army wife), and full time employed (IT contractor). My husband was deployed (Persian Gulf), and as luck would have it, I got a miserable stomach bug (likely norovirus). I was throwing my guts up for several hours, got quite dehydrated, and finally called a cab to take me to the local hospital (we were a satellite base and the dispensary was closed) where I was given IV fluids and medication for nausea, and medication to take home. It was the middle of the night, and all night "pharmacies" were not a thing at that time at least. I did have soup and "matzen" (matzoh) in the house, and fizzy mineral water. There was no one to take care of me. Just me, a dog, and 2 cats, one of whom required regular medication. You know what? I took care of myself. Just like any adult would. You did the right thing. You bought him some stuff to take care of himself, and sent him on his way. However, in my opinion, he owes you money for the rent, and boundaries need to be set in terms of him coming over with-o permission. [/QUOTE]
