Roy

I haven't written for a couple of months. Roy is still unemployed. He is now living with a friend but he needs to pull his own weight. He went through every last dime Mom sent and asked twice if Mom sent any more money since I told him "this is it, the last of the money".

He wasn't using all the money as he had promised when he was given cash. He would keep some of it for bottles. I found out he would get up in the morning, go to the liquor store, drink the bottle, and then go to bed mid-day. Then he would get up a few hours later and start the process again. He did this twice per day when ever he had a little bit of pocket cash.

I keep asking him how his job hunt is going. He's telling me that he is putting in applications but I am having a hard time believing that he is actually searching to really get a job. I am lost at what the next step should be. It's really hurting Mom.
