[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 727742, member: 16024"] Hi Star, I don’t know of any transitional housing for young people. That sounds like a great idea, though. My step-son has usually rented a room in a boarding house, but they are not specifically for young people, they are for anyone who wants cheap rent and is willing to share a bathroom with strangers. If it were me, I wouldn’t check up on him. He drove around all night (probably waiting for you to call and beg him to come home). You called his bluff. So, he spent a few dollars on gas, and he is going to be tired at work this morning. Not a big deal. If he blew off his job, that’s on him. He knows better. It is a big deal that he is stealing from the family. It can’t be allowed to continue. I would allow him to figure things out for himself. If not now, when? Let him do it, and maybe learn a lesson from this now, when the stakes aren’t that high. Maybe this will save you years of rescuing him from one situation after another, and him not learning anything, and continuing on the same path. This may be the greatest gift you could give him right now. [/QUOTE]
