My grandson is going back into the sober living house this morning [View all]

He was in detox for the last few days. The person who updated my son (his dad) said that he was already through most of withdrawal by the time he got to detox, so he wouldn't be there long. He said he was motivated to get better, and he made the arrangements to get back into the sober living house on his own.

I want to help him, but then I think that maybe "help" isn't really helping. He has to pay to stay in the house, and of course he most likely lost his job when he slipped up. He also has to pay for his own food, and my son said that his only pair of shoes (a lot of his stuff "disappeared&quot were messed up. I asked my son if I should buy him shoes, and he said I should hold off for a bit. I think the thinking on that is that he should do as much as possible on his own.

It's tough, because I'm Grandma. It kills me thinking that he might not have enough to eat. I know that I need to stay out of going into rescue mode, so I just made the offer known to my son, and he can let me know if I should help. My son has the means to provide help, so my help really isn't even needed. My grandson's mom's side of the family can be counted on to be their usual cold selves because he didn't live up to their expectations. Needless to say, they're repukes. I imagine they have an abundance of MAGAt hats.
