[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 587815, member: 1550"] Can you take him to a hospital for a short spell while waiting for the bed? From what the director said, he is being honest. Recovering drug addicts and alcoholics wouldn't know how to care for a mentally ill person WHO ACTED OUT. I was on a psychiatric unit three times and sometimes the patients would get aggressive and actually fight with each other and security guards had to be called to seperate them. It's really hard taking care of aggressive mentally ill patients, and VERY sadly they closed most hospitals that kept them long term. Is there a YMCA around? If so, pay the Y the $6.00 for a day pass so he can warm up, take a shower in the locker room and see some semblance of normalcy. I believe I've mentioned this before, but have you contacted Disability for him? When I kicked my daughter out, she right away called her brother and begged him to let her stay with him so she was never actually out there behind the stairwell in a train station. Reading about kids who actually had to do the homeless bit brings me to tears. We were going to make daughter leave, regardless, but she caught a break. I can only imagine how your mommy heart hurts knowing he is out there. There is no rule that says you can't help him a little bit so that he can at least clean up. Maybe I'm going to anger some of the other moms, but I don't think that little bit of kindness is enabling. Take care. [/QUOTE]
