i'm sorry too, i agree with the others, maybe you can have a gentle talk with your parents, explaining things is as gentle way possible, for their benefit. maybe somehow, you and them can come to some agreement to allow you to help in their decisions to give him money in any way. i agree with ann, normally i think that i would suggest hands off addicts, but in this case, i think that your parents should also be protected if possible. i'll pray for all of you guys.
