[QUOTE="Suz, post: 347962, member: 29"] The program suspended Matt as a natural consequence of his actions. It's a life lesson, not geared towards expediting Matt's downfall but it's what an employer would do if he's not doing the job, it's what happens when adults blow it. Steely, please don't misunderstand. When Rob decided he wanted to be free, we didn't subsidize his existence. He didn't have any more street smarts than Matt but according to him in that later conversation he needed to learn those lessons the hard way........by being homeless, unemployed, smelly, dirty clothes, hungry, etc. It was heartbreaking as a parent to know he was going through these things but they were his decisions and actions, not ours. It sounds like Matt is bound and determined to sabotage anything handed to him....the program, a roof over his head via a motel, etc. If I recall correctly, he's in CA and they have homeless shelters, don't they? Unfortunately, these choices are Matt's to make, not yours. It will break you if you assume the burden of Matt's choices when he is the only one in control. Hugs, Suz [/QUOTE]
