[QUOTE="inthestorm, post: 669470, member: 19656"] Hello everyone, My daughter called me this morning and asked if I knew about last nights events. My son showed up at her work this morning and told her what happened. So at least I know he didnt hurt himself. His g-pa (my ex's dad) is going to get together with son and dad tonight and talk. I feel guilty because I just dont even want to call him. I know he's going to want to come live with me. For one thing I know my boyfriend wont allow that. Second thing is even if I lived alone I would be hesistant because of past anger issues towards me. One resulting in a bettery charge against him. What is a tactful way to let him know coming here isnt an option. I dont want to say boyfriend wont let you, I dont want my family to dislike him. Even though nobody else would let him live with them either. He was homeless in Seattle for almost 2 years and it seems like hes having a hard time adjusting to the rhythm of normal life. Ex: making it to job interviews. He had some social anxiety before and being homeless made that even worse and really knocked his self esteem down further. Just need some ideas on how to help, or not help, how not to feel guilty. I knew I could rely on everyone here, always such sound advice. I have posted about my son in the past when he was frst homeless. Been a while though and had to make a new account. Many thanks!! [/QUOTE]
