[QUOTE="toughlovin, post: 497430"] Well since my last post I have gotten some more texts from him...."cant take too much more of this... goingn to get in trouble eventually".... ugh. So I tried to be supportive without jumping in and rescuing him. Mentioned that it is hopefully only 1 or 2 more nights, suggested the salvation army again, even suggested if he is desperate calling the police and seeing if he could sleep in a cell....told him to hang in there.... Made me feel kind of awful and worried as we are off to the night at the hs where they talk about the college app process for our daugther!!! What a way to feel like I am in two different worlds!!! Then got a text asking if we still had reservations. I said yes did he still want us to come? He said being homeless is S**** and regardless he wanted to see us. In one way that made me feel good... in another it makes me feel really sad because he is getting pretty low if he really wants to see us and he is letting his guard down. So then i feel sad for him and want to save him.... BUT part of what he needs to get out of this experience is how bad being homeless is and how important family is after all. So I need to let him feel this pain.... but gosh it is hard to do that and i think I may have more trouble sleeping tonight. I really hope he can go back to the sober house tomorrow. And I hope that works out and that he somehow did not just misunderstand the whole thing. So I am feeling anxious tonight and I know this is a total ramble. TL [/QUOTE]
