[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 675543, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. Yes, you are one of "us". Parents of non-typical and/or non-conforming kids. What mom walks away? Well, in my books, you didn't "walk away". You did the only things that were possible in his situation. A tent = a roof over his head. A sleeping bag = a bed. And you gave him a meal besides! The statement to him is... you care. And it's true. He may have the tent and sleeping bag for a while. Or not. That's on him, not on you. You got him the best possible presents for HIM. What I can tell you is that there are a LOT of young men that seem to really go off the deep end as teens and young adults, who then somehow wake up / grow up / or something by about age 25 or so. And walk away from that lifestyle and go on to be "normal people". There is hope, at least. [/QUOTE]
