As a parent, what else are you going to do? My daughters, his sisters, told me it was a mistake to give him money. I did it anyway. Along with a grocery card. So he buys drugs. It is his solace and his choice. It is my choice to give him some money in the hope he will buy food and a place to sleep and shower. It may be the last thing I ever do for him. Of course I'm going to do it. You can be at peace with the decisions you make about this, because they are yours. I'm at peace with mine. I wish you that same peace.
