Worried about my teenager
I have a 16 yr old son who has chosen to live away from home. He still lives in the same town as I do and asks for my help with money once in awhile. I have told him that I will buy him groceries if he has a stable place to live. He has moved in with my sister who is an alcoholic. I don't want to enable her addictions by giving her money for him. How much should a parent do when a child has moved out by their own choice? I feel as if I have no control over the situation but I am still expected to contribute to his welfare. I don't want to abandon him or to bend what I believe in to accommodate being around him. How do I let go ?
