[QUOTE="Lil, post: 643115, member: 17309"] I admit, I saw worst-case-scenario. I saw either 1) Him quitting his job so he could have a place to sleep nights, or 2) Losing his job because he was unable to find a place to sleep, bathe, whatever, or 3) Showing up on our doorstep in the night begging to come home. I was most afraid of #3. It's one thing to tell him no on the phone. It's another thing to his face. I don't know, if he show up soaked and shivering on our doorstep, if I could turn him away. I don't think I could do it, I really don't. This has given me some things to think about. While I DO know he is capable...I really DO believe he can take care of himself if he puts his mind to it (intellectually, at least)...when push comes to shove, my brain automatically goes to him shivering in an alley, dirty and hungry and hopeless. I'm pretty sure that says more about ME than it does about HIM...but I'm not sure what. :unsure: [/QUOTE]
