[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639256, member: 1550"] Well...maybe he wasn't really robbed. It's not like they don't lie to us. Does he have anything worth stealing? I would remind him, without anger, that there are food stamps and that he certainly qualifies and that there are places that feed the homeless every day.There are also 24 hr. laundromats and some 24 hr. Walmarts to warm up in. There are shelters too, but shelters have rules. I like how you said, "Just because I don't said you $$$ doesn't mean I don't want to hear from you." That is a loving thing to say. Very sadly, sometimes our grown kids do punish us if the money stops. It never seems to occur to them that they could solve their problems just by getting even a low paying job. You do qualify for benefits if your pay is low. Also, when my husand and I needed a break from one another before we married, to see if we wanted to take the relationship to the end point, Tom offered to rent a room in a private house to give us space. He put an ad in the paper and a very nice lady answered. She took him and even his dog...lol. He paid nominal rent (very low) and did chores for her around the house. Son doesn't need to live in a palace. There are plenty of low rent places to get warm for the people around us who only make a little money. They are also the ones who most easily qualify for food stamps, welfare and Medicaid and your son would be able to get all three. Good luck. Try to take care of YOU right now. Your son is on his own trip through life. He needs to be capable of taking care of himself because, of course, none of us can live forever. [/QUOTE]
