[QUOTE="Lil, post: 656354, member: 17309"] I think it's time for a new thread. Maybe one counting down the days until he goes to Job Corps? Yep. WHY does he have to tell me all the drama? I really don't want him to. I even try telling him the bland, "I'm sorry this is happening to you." comment...doesn't help. Today he called and asked me to get him a bus pass, since I told him I would. He's refused it over and over...because the people he's living with promised him a ride to work. Except that now they won't do it. Now, you might say, "Well, he's just depending on other people!" and I'd agree...except that what would take 5-10 minutes by car will take 45 minutes by bus. Literally. I asked because I couldn't figure the schedule out and didn't want to waste the bus pass money if it wouldn't actually do much good. The buses only run one way in a big circle. It'll take about 15 minutes to get home, 45 to get to work. So with the 35 minute difference in travel time, I'd be inclined to depend on other people too. Anyway, since he does NOT have the pass yet and I was at lunch, I offered to come take him - today. After this, he has the pass. Of course, this leads to him talking to me about how he was told by the "couple" that he is nothing but an annoyance and a disruption to the household and that the only reason they haven't kicked him out is they don't want him to be homeless, but they don't like him, don't like living with him, don't want him there and can't wait until he's gone. He said they told him to just stay in his room and don't come out. What do you SAY to something like that? I told him to try to be there as little as possible and to do as much community service as possible...try to get it done in 2-3 weeks and maybe he'll get lucky and Job Corps will call him sooner. I told him I'd help him clean out the apartment, and get the bugs under control (although he now says he also has bed-bugs) and he could stay there. Not ideal, as he can only eat ready-made food with no electric...but he can eat and sleep. Of course, he pointed out no alarm clock and no phone, because he won't be able to charge his and it requires charging twice a day. So...I told him I didn't know what else to say and he went to his job orientation. I don't think it's my last chance Copa...I just really want him far, far away and (hopefully) getting himself together. Hopefully. I started the day in a semi-decent mood, too. :( [/QUOTE]
