[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 446670, member: 84"] Well, I've been there done that with Travis. He's doing better, thankfully, helping husband, which is a big help to me. Food issues here are mostly gone. Used to be he could clear out my kitchen faster than I could buy it. So I stopped buying all treats and snack type food for a long time, like years. At least if I claim something is mine as in "special" (I don't do this often either) he'll leave it alone. If he asks, lots of times I'll even share my special treats with him if I have enough. I did have to explain to him that since I'm buying all this food on sale, it doesn't mean he gets to chow down as he pleases. It's got to last us, sometimes for quite a long time. He complained that we had all the food and he wasn't allowed to eat any of it.......I told him no, he could eat, he just had to clear it with me first. I have to know what's going out of the pantry at what rate in order to replace it. That whole let's eat no stop for days on end just can not happen or we'll all go hungry. So he's done a LOT better all the way around. And sometimes I try to pick up certain things on sale with coupons he likes especially too. I agree. Sounds like it's more than high time Billy finds his own place. And in all honesty? His girlfriend has nothing to do with him finding his own place. Her divorce could take YEARS for all you know. And while she sounds like a great girl, she could be pulling the wool over his eyes and there will be no divorce....happens everyday. He'll feed himself, if Travis can manage, I'm sure he can too. lol [/QUOTE]
