[QUOTE="blackgnat, post: 600139, member: 13561"] Hey guys-well, it's happened as I thought it might but hoped it wouldn't. I am getting daily calls because he is panicking and doesn't see the point of being there if he's just going to do the same thing as in Illinois. I'm telling him he doesn't HAVE to do the same things but he doesn't seem to be getting that. He is very mad at his father for not letting him stay longer. Last night was his first night away-he said he met some homeless people and was chatting to them and then slept on a bus stop bench. He can't get over the fact that he offered his father money but he still wouldn't let him stay. He has been drinking every time he calls me. Talking about coming back to Illinois and how people were "looking out for him there". Why does he need people to look after him? Says he doesn't know anyone there. But he didn't know anyone here before he went to the mission here. Says he is NOT doing another mission. I told him that his continued drinking will only lead to the worst of disasters and told him to find a mission and he could have full and productive days. If he has nothing to do, he needs to look for work. He hung up on me. I am not taking these calls every day. He is using me as his therapist. But he already got one when we got to CO so he needs to use THAT qualified person and not his fallback person who can do nothing for him 1,000 miles away.... [/QUOTE]
