    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    Hi, Copa! I wish that I had been traveling. I don't think that your son has schizophrenia. I hope that he does not. He needs to have delusions or halucinations. He might not share them. He does not hear voices, right? There are other mental illnesses that he can have, but it does not...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    Merry Christmas to all! I have missed all of you! Hi, Copa and Leafy, my dear sisters! I am so very sorry that I have been away for so long. Remote teaching was very consuming. All tests and worksheets had to be digitized which takes time. It has been 6 1/2 years since I saw my eldest...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    Greetings, Copa, New Leaf, and others. I am truly sorry that it has been so long. I am just barely holding on. I remote taught my class and stayed home mostly since March 19th because I am high risk. I miss teaching terribly, but most of my students rose to the occasion and did very well...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    I am so grateful that I have this site. I am going to London in 3 days, yet my adult middle son will not leave me alone. He is increasingly acting like my schizophrenic son in the early stages.. My heart is literally breaking. Most people before a trip are happily planning for their upcoming...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    Dear Sunny, I am so sorry that so much time has passed. I started back teaching when you posted. I can't even imagine how you must feel. Are you going to try to see him? Be safe. I have endured 4 years and my heart is always breaking. I put a small amount of money in his account each...

    I did not know that you booked with booking.com. They are very helpful. I use that site the most. I am glad that things worked out for you.

    Look up transfer travel first. I don't know which site is the best. They will explain what you need to check out. It really bothered me that you were losing money so I researched...

    Copa, you can sell your hotel room on Transfer Travel.com or Roomer for a 15% fee. I read that 80% of hotels let you change the name on your room. Check your hotel's policy and these sites.

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    Dear Victim, I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I think that I want to call you 'Not a Victim'. I agree that a family hits a point where it is enough. I started this thread 4 years ago. I have 3 sons. My eldest became schizophrenic and I tried for 9 years to get him to get help...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    I am hoping that your hotel will give some of it back. Your reason is not an emergency and it depends on the date that you booked and the date of your expected stay. My hotel offered this, but it was better for me to just go there. If the hotel says no, I found a site called Transfer...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    If the hotel is not connected to the retreat and you chose it out of several, then you will need to pay because there are always refundable hotels available. You made it sound like it was your only option. So the retreat is being held near the hotel, but not at the hotel. I would reach out...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    Copa, even if the hotel is nonrefundable, if they cancel you, then they are responsible. You stated that this very expensive hotel was "the only option" given to you and you had to book it to attend the retreat, which is probably being held there. I would fight paying for it. Have the hotel...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    Copa, I understand that he wants to be 'free'. But, I feel that he wants to be free from life...responsibilities, obligations, finishing school, or working. He is pulling away from people. I don't feel that he will be better off emotionally being homeless and he rarely contacted me when he...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    Leafy, thank you so much for the quote. It is very fitting. Yes, guilt and grief are felt over past events and worry and anxiety deals with the future. So true. I am trying to live day by day and stop persevering over the what ifs. I am very glad that your grands are staying with you. They...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    Greetings, sisters. I am so sorry that it has been so very long. I am not doing very well. In automatic pilot, of sorts. Yes, I am traveling. I went on a teacher seminar and then to Washington, D.C. and Charleston. I live to learn and write competitive essays to get into seminars. I am...

    Feeling Sad---Son is Homeless

    Copa, you always make me feel better, my warrior sister. You are very well-read in both of these types of adventures. I think that they both sound wonderful. Not a prison at all, but rather, experiencing the freedom of the open seas. I feel that you could gradually overcome that fear of...
