We are still waiting for hos unemployment back-pay, and his music label will pay him in January.

He just really needs a job...like now. If I'm sacrificing my therapy with L, he needs to make some sacrifices too. Even my dad is making sacrifices. He still doesn't pay us enough rent and lost a ton of our money in stocks, but we no longer get him coffee or food. He pays for his own now.

I feel like if he's asking you to reduce therapy, he should give up Starbucks, or at least only go a couple times a week (I know from past personal experience how quickly Starbucks can add up...). I don't understand why it seem OK for him to spend money (and $2,000 is a lot!) but for you to have to cut back so much...
