## Resource

A mother’s love is tested when her son’s addiction collides with her husband’s deteriorating health. Meg, already juggling Alzheimer’s care for her spouse and her own retirement, faces an impossible choice: pay $18,000 to keep her son alive in rehab—or let him face the consequences of his choices. With resources stretched thin and no guarantee of lasting recovery, the episode asks whether love means bailing out the unready, or letting someone else pay the price for their own reckoning.
