Duchess- I didn't want to hijack the other post...
I understand the urge to bring your son food, to jump in and help again. it would initially be an easy thing for you to do . in the long run you know it will pull you right back to a situation you can not control and it will exhaust you.

my suggestion - ask the ex-gf to help your son get on to social services. food stamps, disability, etc. He needs the support and guidance of other people, not you. (I don't mean anything disrespectful to you)

I see with my son, no matter what we parents say or do - we do not make the biggest impact on our son's decisions. the support group he builds on his own helps much more than us.

Thanks NY! Yes, that is exactly what she is going to do. She said she wants to help him and is getting him to apply for medicaid, food stamps, and anything else that will help. She has a computer and phone and he has no way to apply so she is helping.

Thanks for the suggestions!
