[QUOTE="1905, post: 598436, member: 2668"] It sounds great that he is setting himself up there with dr.s, a grocery card and is interested in making a life for himself. It's very upsetting for him to hear his father say that. He wants to throw in the towel over one comment, typical difficult child style. The dad was maybe blowing off steam, saying that in an offhand way, or just plain didn't mean it all. I'm speculating, who knows? The father is allowing difficult child to stay there for now until he gets himself set up, right? He is going to have to do that, that's a great incentive for him to take the action he needs to- getting a job, or whatever else he needs to do. He's not going back over one comment his dad made, you need to leave there now. You don't want anything or anyone to get in the way of this chance for him. They can figure it out when you're gone and he's there with just his 2 boys. The dad will act differently when you're not there. Go. As for the craigslist....it stinks, but he does that anywhere he is. You want him safe of course, but you have no control over that. He'll either be ok or he won't be, you have no say.
