Hi I have been through this with my son, after years of bailing him out, I tried tough love it hurt me to do it but it has helped, stop bailing him out, stop paying his debts, stop giving him money. Feed him if you need to but don’t give cash. Hard as it is let him see what the results of his actions are. Its hard but I have seen good results, my son is not over it yet but is getting there I think. Above all let him know that although the cash has stopped you love him and will be there for him when he wants to sort his life out. It is so hard but stay strong and protect the rest of your family……good luck xx
