They do get over it when we refuse to give them money. My AD does call me from time to time (never when she says she will. Usually not when I leave messages asking her too. Only and always on her terms, but she does call) and she knows not to ask for money. when I see her, she sometimes will ask me to buy her something (a candy bar, a soda, etc.,) and I am fine with that. It hard to figure out the boundaries we need to keep and hard to enforce them once we figure them out. but it sounds like you are struggling to make ends meet yourself and its gotta **** you off to realize you are working a 2nd job to support your kid's drug addiction...
You got good suggestions here already, so keep the faith - you can do this!
