[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 135203, member: 1233"] I agree with BBK. Press charges. It will be things like that that will eventually get through. THe consequences. Unless he reaches bottom, he won't make the choice to get his life together. It is so hard on moms and dads, isn't it? Star, I have seen shelters like that. We are in a smaller city, and our shelter is quite nice. Nicer than many homes. This has been a problem for hte shelter. They had a few families that had to be forced to leave - they had a home, but they didn't want to work and pay bills (it was inherited , in 2 cases, but in need of some work - actually was nicer than the apt husband and I first lived in!). Well made building, in pretty good shape (built new to be the shelter about 20 years ago). Each family has a separate room and bath, food is very good - most restaurants donate daily, they have a good selection of clothing, etc most of the time, and have vouchers they can print for the clients to go to any of the 4 thrift stores for clothing, shoes, etc... As I said, it is quite nice. Praying, if he is willing to just go walk off, let him. The best teacher is necessity. MAke sure you change the locks, even if you think he doesn't have a key. Also make sure you change the locks on all interior doors. Our kids can find keys even when we think they can't. Hugs, Susie [/QUOTE]
