No money!!!!! Unless it's for food and go grocery shopping with him and pay for it in front of him. Showing that is the only financial support you can give him, if he desperatly needs rent and you're willing to help, go pay the agent in person to check if he is behind in rent, but do not give him cash!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cash is a big no no. I had a guy ask me for a dollar for a cuppa tea. I said wait here, went and got him a cup of tea and he was furious. Being there emotionally is the best support you can give him, not financial, as in cash!! Good luck hon, it sounds like you're have a rough time but hang in there. There is only 2 paths left now, rehab or rock bottom, I know that sounds harsh but I just want to be totally honest with you. I wish you and your family all the best. Big hugs!!!!!!
