[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 347961, member: 1514"] Sorry for the double posting, this server ate it but apparently spit it back out! Let me ask you this, how is he going to get a place to live? Can you afford to fund him for a month or two in a low rent place? Does the treatment place have off campus housing? Are you going to pay for him in a weekly motel until he can get a job? Will he be willing to get a job? Will you be able to say...Matt, Im going to pay for 4 weeks at Motel X but you must get a job to pay for the rest of your stay and try and find a room somewhere that you can afford. If you choose not to get a job, you will be out on your own. Can you do that? Those weekly motels are about 250 a week. At least places I have seen. Might be more in cali. He might be able to get a room in a home or rooming house if you look. Yes it wont be nice. No cable, no niceties. He is starting from scratch. It will actually build character. Cory doesnt have cable. He has rabbit ears. Thrilled to have them. For a time all he had was his dvd player. This stuff is hard. You saw what Cory lived in when he first moved out. I really dont see that you have much choice though. Matt is running this show. Its really all up to him. You can help him up to how much you are capable of doing but in the end, its his life and he can now take the reigns and make it what he wants. If he wants to fall down into the gutter with the drug dealers, he is making that choice. He knows he doesnt have to do that. He has other options. [/QUOTE]
