[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 486281, member: 1967"] Yes, you did the right thing. He will always run out of money if he thinks you will cave and send him more. My limit for my difficult child is $50 a week and that includes her cigarettes. She usually spends $35 for food and $15 for cigarettes. So far, she hasn't had any problems staying in that limit. As far as him stealing if you don't give him the money . . . that is his choice to make . . . and he will have to suffer the consequences. It is not on you!! I struggle with that, too. difficult child has mentioned a prostitute at the halfway house that offered to "hook her up" for spending money. I think was trying to manipulate us by scaring us that she would turn to prostitution in we didn't give her what she wanted. husband just said that it was her choice but it would be a very sad way to live. She never mentioned it again. Stay strong! You are doing great. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
