[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 725100, member: 18516"] Good question! One I have been pondering myself. My son is in jail so I have decided to just send a Christmas card with a letter. I thought about putting some money on his account but decided against it as this has the potential to open the door for him to ask for more. This is where the the "mommy heart" needs to take a back seat to common sense. I think each of us knows our difficult adult kids pretty well and we need to rely on our common sense when it comes to Christmas. I think the main thing we can do is let them know we love them. I also know that many of these difficult adult kids equate love with money or gifts which is just sad. I like the ideas of gift cards for fast food. My heart goes out to all moms and dads of difficult adult kids this Christmas. It is my hope that each of us will be able to find joy and peace despite what we deal with. [/QUOTE]
