And so anytime you're sitting with somebody who is struggling in any sort of addiction, what you can control in that moment is you.

And it's you saying, here is what I'm going to do next.

And yeah, I would advocate for you right now to get your own checking account and to make sure you've got your bills paid and make sure you've got your roof over your head and make sure you can afford your own counseling bills because this is a bigger issue than the $50 or $75 a day he's blowing at gas stations, right?

It's a much bigger issue.

That's just one of the alarm bells going off.

Okay.

Okay.

Well, for a short time.

Do you work outside the home?

It's not about that at all.

We're not solving for feelings right now.

We're solving for safety.

Yeah.

And be forewarned, anytime you put up a boundary like this, and by the way, this sounds like a boundary to reestablish connection down the road.

That's right.

And to keep you safe.
