esthersvirtue,

IMO, just giving him the money would only enable his behavior. With addicts, you have to realize at some point that you can't help...he needs to help himself. And, unfortunately, that might mean doing things that he will interpret as your not caring. But he is an addict, and you can't let his distorted, addict thinking influence you into doing something you know is wrong.

If you want to do something that might be a push in the right direction, maybe you can say you will give him the money if he checks himself into rehab. But if he won't, then maybe he needs a wake-up call.

Good luck.
