Thanks Everyone. We did do the intervention thing a few years back, but it didn't get it across to him.

I was upset yesterday because he called and asked me for money. He said he needed money to buy the kids clothes and pay the electric bill. I told him that I would take the kids shopping and send a check to the electric company and this really made him mad. There have just been to many times where I have given him money and it has gone to heroin. Last month I gave him money to pay the electric bill and the electric still got turned off. I told him then that I will help him out, but I wont just write him a check anymore. I don't want to support his habit.

I guess I just wait for him to hit bottom and in the mean time, help the kids as much as I can.

Thanks for the responses.
