[QUOTE="so ready to live, post: 711383, member: 20054"] Colleen. I've had you on my mind this week. I so wish things were different for you. Everyone does "what needs to be done"and only when they are ready, that means YOU and HIM. There are those two camps---"kick them out-let them stay no matter what". In our home we were on both sides and in the middle many times. I so feel your struggle. A few observations from "out of the woods".... It's imperative for you to take the car, those damaged bumpers didn't hit "nothing". You could end up in court, someone could have been hurt or worse. Don't take responsibility for his impaired choices. We also learned of the worthlessness of promises from our much-loved son. It was the sleep all day, out all night that ended our housing him. The promises meant nothing over and over. We continue even now to give support, but only when he also makes an effort, ie whatever assistance we might give anyone we loved. But no $ and no living with us. It was simply too hard on us emotionally to have his choices on our doorstep. My heart goes out to you this am, it's a beautiful Spring and I wish peace for you today. Prayers. [/QUOTE]
