[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 566042"] Thank you all for the thoughts.. I do feel very sad tonight but I realized I am not filled with terror and fear for his safety that I have felt before. I am sad partly because I just personally cannot imagine living like that...and it seems so sad to be in such a situation. He did not seem overly depressed though or desperate or anything, just trying to figure out how to get an id. It was kind of a problem solving session. And I am sad because he still has that attitude and is kind of hard to talk to... made me realize that I am really glad he is not living here!! I think we connect better in some ways via writing than in person. Jane I think asking him any questions like that would really push him away. To stay connected I need to stay as neutral as possible I think. And he does seem to want to try and figure some things out, and getting an id is the first step. He is obviously talking to someone who is helpful... and gosh he is taking showers during the week when he can. I do wonder how long he will/can do this for. But I am guessing that in some sort of weird way he likes the not having rules and the freedom of it although i cant imagine it myself at all. And AG yes he is alive and he is eating (and still smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee although how he can afford either of those things I have no idea). TL [/QUOTE]
