[QUOTE="Star*, post: 312980, member: 4964"] IMO4 You know - I am sending you hugs because in a week I'm not sure what is going to happen in my world or Dudes either. He has no place to live, no job, no education, no prospects - only a letter saying - thanks for 10 years - here's the address to the mens homeless shelter down town. I have a full length womens down coat with a hood in the closet - Dude asked me for that and if I had a back pack this weekend. I told him he could have it. He said he's going to need both. He's not taking us up on "if you really can't find a place." He said he's going to go live on the street, quit school and show up at the caseworkers office to thank him for the 10 years - especially the last 1 1/2 of the horrid foster family and for only coming to see his living conditions and check up on him 2 times. He said he's taking his letter and going to see the Governor also. More power to him. I think Nomad has a point about the bladder control. Something needs to be done. There are pills that could help. This is beyond the age where it's tolerated or accepted. This is now a medical condition. Could be that he sleeps so soundly and comfortable at your home he urinates and when he's in strange places he does not sleep that well? As far as the lying? Don't hold your breath. You have to figure out when you draw your line in the sand and make plans to act on them. You can't ask him when HE will stop lying - you can only tell him - IF you lie to me again and I find out it's a lie XX will occur. Then follow through. If that means throwing him out - then that's what it means. To not like our kids? Eh....pretty common - love them? Sure. Not like them? (hands membership card) WELCOME TO THE CLUB. :frowny: [/QUOTE]
