[QUOTE="Lil, post: 659207, member: 17309"] I got sidetracked and didn't post what I wanted to! LOL I'm a feeder...I feed people. It's kinda my thing. :) It was nice to send him home with a pan of his favorite food to share with the guy he's living with. It saddens me that soon I may not have that opportunity, since he may be living nowhere at all. I've never seen a paycheck from any time my son worked...few as that's been. I wonder sometime if he feels any pride about anything. I told Jabber last night, the hardest part of having our son is just not understanding him. How can you be so ... apathetic ... toward your life that you just don't DO anything to fix it? *Don't look for/get/hold a job - even though you know that if you can't pay rent anywhere you might sleep on the streets. *Don't go to Job Corps even though you know that in 8 months of all-expenses-paid living you'd be able to have your degree and get job placement assistance. *Don't wash windows for 40 hours, even though you may end up in jail because you didn't do something that simple. *Don't apply for the free government phone, even though it'll be better than the one you currently have, which will be turned OFF in 15 days! Even though there's a computer IN YOUR LAP that already has the application pulled up and ready to fill in! How is anyone that much of a slug? How did we raise a person like that? I said that last night and Jabber said, "We didn't." But we DID. He's our son. We raised him. So HOW did he turn out like this? Because it WASN'T how we raised him to be! I would do anything to understand that. To understand the why of it. :( [/QUOTE]
